Abstract
Single incision laparoscopic surgery is used in many
centres for routine cases such as appendisectomy,
splenectomy and cholecystectomy. Morgagni hernias
are uncommon and account for 1-2% of all congenital
diaphragmatic hernia. We report our fi rst laparoscopic
repair of two Morgagni hernias, using a single umbilical
incision and full-thickness abdominal wall repair with
standard straight laparoscopic instruments. Operative
time was short and compared favourably with the
laparoscopic repair.
