Abstract
Most Morgagni and Bochdalek hernias are found and repaired in children, but 5% are found in adults. Symptoms of these hernias are attributable to the involved viscera. Both hernias require repair on presentation because of the risk of incarceration. We describe a laparoscopic method of repairing these hernias that allows shorter recovery than open surgery.Entities:
