This study presents the case of a shih tzu puppy, in which a rare congenital Morgagni diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed. The diagnosis was based on abdominal and thoracic radiographs, including a contrast study of the gastrointestinal tract, which revealed a co-existing umbilical hernia. Both hernias were repaired by surgery.

November 2024
Thoracic Surgery Department, Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias, Mexico City, MEX.
Objectives Diaphragmatic hernias (DHs) in adults are an uncommon condition in which general characteristics and treatment strategies are poorly described. The objective of this study was to describe our institutional experience in the surgical repair of DH in adult patients. Methods A cross-sectional review was conducted on adult patients with DH who were diagnosed and surgically treated between 2012 and 2023 at the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias in Mexico City.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aims: Morgagni hernias are rare congenital diaphragmatic defects that can lead to bowel obstruction and incarceration if not repaired. While this disease typically manifests as respiratory distress, frequent respiratory infections, and infant growth failure, it can sometimes be accidentally discovered in adulthood through cross-sectional imaging. We aimed to report our experience managing this entity during 20 years at our referral center.

Crural Diaphragm Density in Respiratory Complications after Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
November 2024
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine-DIMES of the Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, G.B. Morgagni-L. Pierantoni Hospital, Forlì, Italy.
Background: Respiratory muscle strength affects pulmonary function after lung resection; however, the role of diaphragm density, an emerging index of muscle quality, remains unexplored. We investigated the role of crural diaphragm density (CDD) in respiratory complications (RC) after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for lung cancer.
Methods: A total of 118 patients were retrospectively enrolled between 2015 and 2022.
Comparison of double-port laparoscopic-assisted extracorporeal suture technique and open surgical repair for Morgagni hernia.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkiye.
Background/aim: We aimed to compare the results of open surgery and double-port laparoscopic-assisted extracorporeal suturing repair for the treatment of Morgagni hernia (MH).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients with MH who were operated on in our clinic between January 2012 and January 2023 were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique: open surgery (OS) (n = 14) or laparoscopic surgery (LS) (n = 8).
