Abstract

We report a case of Morgagni hernia treated by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). A 67-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow in the right lower lung field. She had a past history of blunt trauma to the chest five years earlier. Chest CT and MRI revealed herniation of the omentum into the right hemithorax through a retrosternal defect. She was diagnosed with Morgagni hernia, and successfully treated by VATS with a small thoracotomy. The diaphragm defect was closed with coated, braided nylon sutures under direct vision. VATS is considered to be a useful procedure for Morgagni hernia.
