abstract: A new case report of laparoscopic repair of a diaphragmatic hernia through the foramen of Morgagni in a 53-year-old woman is described. The patient had a successful recovery with no recurrence 2 years after surgery. The authors propose that the laparoscopic approach is an alternative to classical treatment for this kind of hernia.
