Laparoscopic repair of right diaphragmatic hernia - A case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Morgagni hernias are unusual congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Usually the patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally. Surgical treatment is recommended once diagnosed, so as to prevent complications. These hernias were traditionally been repaired by open abdominal or thoracic approach. We present one such case, which was managed by laparoscopic approach. In our case, 60 year old female with dyspnea for one month duration, was admitted and evaluated. Chest X-ray and CT thorax showed large anteromedial defect in the diaphragm. We did laparoscopy and the defect was repaired with a mesh placement. Patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged after a short hospital stay.
