Abstract
The aim of this study is to present two patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic Morgagni hernia and treated by repairing the hernia defect with a mesh by laparoscopic surgery. We describe the placement of a double-layer mesh anchored with helicoidal staples to repair the hernia defect using laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery allows repair of these defects whilst avoiding the disadvantages of a major laparotomy or a thoracotomy. The existence of double-layer meshes that can be placed in contact with the abdominal viscera allows the defect to be closed safely and without tension.
