Incidentally Diagnosed Large Asymptomatic Morgagni Hernia in Adult Male Patient.

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are rare congenital defects resulting in abdominal organ protrusion into the thoracic cavity; they mainly present with pulmonary or gastrointestinal symptoms. Although congenital and discovered in utero or in early childhood, they can be asymptomatic for a long time and even remain asymptomatic despite the growing hernia sac dimensions and the hernia sac contents.

Case Description: We present a case of a 58-year-old patient with incidentally diagnosed Morgagni hernia during the COVID-19 pandemic following a computerised tomography (CT) scan of the chest.

Enhancing surgical planning of distal splenopancreatectomy through 3D printed models: a case report.

The complex anatomy of the peripancreatic region was a challenge to many surgeons in the past. Up until recently, the only way to prepare and plan a surgery was through the use of traditional 2D images, obtained via computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Recently, the advantages in the field of 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing, or rapid prototyping) allowed the creation of replicas of the patient's anatomy which is to be used for preoperative planning and visual reference.
