Foramen of Morgagni hernia: surgical consideration.
We have recently encountered two patients with foramen of Morgagni hernias both of whom were symptomatic and required repair. Both patients did well following repair. Symptomatic Morgagni hernias should be repaired to reduce complications in later life.
