A Rare Case of Laparoscopic Repair of Simultaneously Occurring Morgagni and Paraesophageal Hernias.
Simultaneously occurring Morgagni hernia and paraesophageal hernia is an extremely rare clinical condition with only six case reports in the English-language literature and only two laparoscopic repair reports. We report a 73-year-old woman with both Morgagni hernia and paraesophageal hernia who underwent successful laparoscopic repair of the hernia defects using transabdominal wall suturing. The laparoscopic operation can provide excellent exposure and repair the hernia defect easily with minimal invasiveness and fewer complications. This case report reported the concurring Morgagni and paraesophageal hernias and validated the feasibility of laparoscopic repair both hernias simultaneously.
