Open Versus Minimally Invasive Morgagni Hernia Repair in Pediatric Surgery: A Review

Abstract

Regarding MH in children, transabdominal repair is superior to transthoracic due to improved visualization of bilateral defects and easier reduction of the hernia contents. Laparoscopy has been reported as a popular approach. Single-site laparoscopy has gained attention due to better outcomes than standard three-port laparoscopy. Considering a limited number of children in the literature who underwent robotic MH repair, perioperative complications were reported to be minor.
