Laparoscopic Repair of Morgagni Hernia using Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Mesh
Abstract
We report the cases of two patients diagnosed with Morgagni hernia who presented with nonspecific abdominal symptoms. Both underwent laparoscopic surgery that used a dual-sided mesh, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF; Dynamesh IPOM®). The procedures were successful and both patients were discharged with no complications. There was no recurrence in 18 months of follow up.
Herein is the report of these cases and a literature review.
