title: Laparoscopic repair of Morgagni diaphragmatic hernia: a new case.
abstract: A large diaphragmatic Morgagni-type hernia that was incidentally discovered in an 8-month-old girl is described. The diaphragmatic defect was closed through laparoscopy. The latter approach is felt to be superior over conventional surgery and is therefore recommended in similar cases.
