ABSTRACT
The development of Morgagni hernias is related to malformations of the embryologic septum transversum after failure of the sternal and costal fibrotendinous elements of the diaphragm to fuse. The overall incidence of Morgagni hernias among all congenital diaphragmatic defects is 3% to 4%. Inguinal hernias are the most common hernias in males and females (25% and 2%, respectively). An inguinal hernia is defined as a protrusion of the abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal. The combination of Morgagni and inguinal hernias is rare, and treatment using laparoscopic surgery has not been previously reported. This case presents a one-stage laparoscopic repair of Morgagni and inguinal hernias in a 2-month-old male.
