We report the case of a 2-year-old boy affected by a Morgagni-Larrey hernia discovered accidentally. The hernia was large, and it contained an accessory hepatic lobe. The repair was performed easily utilizing a laparoscopic approach. On the basis of our experience, we can affirm that laparoscopic correction of Morgagni-Larrey hernia is not a difficult operation. In our opinion, the minimally invasive procedure may be the first-choice treatment for this kind of diaphragmatic defect.

Abstract
We report the case of a 2-year-old boy affected by a Morgagni-Larrey hernia discovered accidentally. The hernia was large, and it contained an accessory hepatic lobe. The repair was performed easily utilizing a laparoscopic approach. On the basis of our experience, we can affirm that laparoscopic correction of Morgagni-Larrey hernia is not a difficult operation. In our opinion, the minimally invasive procedure may be the first-choice treatment for this kind of diaphragmatic defect.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
