The authors report a case of a large Morgagni hernia treated by laparoscopy. The patient complained of dyspnea, cough, and a sensation of tightness in the chest 1 month prior to admission. Preoperative diagnosis was made by chest x-ray, CT scan, and MRI, which showed a large right paracardiac mass consisting of an omentum and transverse colon. By reducing the hernial content, a 6 x 10-cm defect was revealed; the repair was performed with a Marlex mesh sutured by a hernia stapler. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and 3 months after surgery the patient is well. Laparoscopic treatment of a Morgagni hernia provides an excellent view of the surgical field and ease of execution, joined with a minimal surgical trauma with rapid recovery for the patient.
