Diaphragmatic hernias of Morgagni are anatomical defects in the anterior diaphragm that allow herniation of abdominal viscera into the thorax. They are the rarest of congenital diaphragmatic hernias and usually present in childhood with respiratory symptomatology. Adults are often asymptomatic or present with strangulation of visceral contents. We describe the case of a 60-year female presenting with chronic chest pain and diagnosed with a left sided Morgagni hernia, with stomach and greater omentum as its contents. She underwent thoracotomy repair of the hernia and the defect was repaired using polypropylene mesh. Keyword: Morgagni Hernia, Adult, Thoracotomy, Mesh Repair

Background: In the practice of General Surgery, hernia repair is the second most common procedure after appendectomy. Several methods have been developed over the years to try to improve hernia repair. Good result can be expected using Bassini's, McVay's, Shouldice's techniques provided the exact nature of hernia is recognized and the repair is done without tension using healthy tissue. The introduction of synthetic mesh started a new era in hernia surgery. The use of synthetic mesh repair of primary and recurrent hernias has gradually gained acceptance among surgeons. Objective: To find out the outcome and complications of open inguinal hernia repair with prolene mesh. Methods: This is a prospective cross sectional study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, from December, 2011 to May, 2012. One hundred patients of inguinal hernia admitted in different surgical units of BSMMU, Dhaka for elective surgery were studied. We have given 1 gm ijv Cephradine per operatively and then 500 gm cephradine ijv 6 hourly for 24 hours followed by oral form of Cephradine for next 5 days. Polypropylene mesh of 11 cm x 7 cm size was used in all cases. All the operations were done by open tension free prolene mesh repair technique. Patients were followed for one year to see the outcome. Results: Out of 100 cases of inguinal hernia, 71 patients (71%) had indirect inguinal hernia and 29 cases (29%) had direct inguinal hernia; 90 cases (90%) were primary hernia and only 10 cases (10%) were recurrent hernia; 58 cases were right sided, 34 cases (34%) were left sided and 8 cases (8%) were bilateral. Complications of mesh repair of groin hernia in this study included wound infection (5%), scrotal oedema (2%), mesh infection (0%), scrotal hematoma (2%), echymoces of peri-incisional skin (5%), early wound and groin pain (7%), chronic inguinodynia (2%), hernia recurrence (1%). Conclusion: In the present study an attempt is made to evaluate the outcome of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair by prolene mesh. The results confirm that Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair of inguinal hernia is safe and reliable for both primary and recurrent groin hernia, with less recurrence rate. Patient's compliance was good with minimum morbidity. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2018) Vol. 22 (1): 21-24

Aim: To compare Desarda’s versus Lichtenstein’s mesh repair in patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia in terms of mean operative time and seroma formation Methods: This randomized control trial conducted at Department of Surgery, Patuakhali Medical College & Hospital, Patuakhali. Eighty patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia were randomly distributed into two groups to undergo hernia repair i.e. Lichtenstein (L) and Desarda’s (D). Outcome was measured in terms of mean operative time and seroma formation. Seroma formation was defined as presence of enclosed cavity containing serous fluid determined by ultrasonography at 30th post-operative day. Results: Thirty three patients (41.25%) were above 50 years of age, whereas remaining 47 patients (58.75%) were below 50 years of age. Five patients (6.25%) were female and 75 patients(93.75%) were male. Seroma formation was 5% in Desarda’s group while 7.5% in Lichtenstein group (P> 0.05). Similarly difference in mean operative time was statistically non-significant. Seroma formation was common in older age group. There was no effect of smoking, obesity, operative time and gender on seroma formation. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no difference in frequency of seroma formation and mean operative time in Desarda’s or Lichtenstein’s technique of hernia repair.

Morgagni hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. It is a congenital defect of the diaphragm, often asymptomatic in adulthood and thus usually found only incidentally. Its treatment is predominantly surgical. This article presents three case reports of patients operated in our department.

ntroduction: Repairs of umbilical and epigastric hernias are common surgical procedures; the choice of the surgical method generally depends on the size of the hernial sac and fascial defect. Methods: Data of patients operated on for umbilical or epigastric hernias in our hospital during two years were assessed retrospectively. The study group included 264 patients; 212 had an umbilical hernia and 52 had an epigastric hernia. We assessed epidemiologic and clinical parameters and their correlation with the occurrence of early postoperative complications. We also looked for the recurrence rate, although during only a short follow-up period. Results: In the case of umbilical hernias, early complications occurred in 6.7% (11/165) after surgery with a simple suture and in 4.3% (2/47) with mesh repair, and the recurrence rates were 3% (5/165) and 21.3% (10/47), respectively. The risk of early complications was significantly higher in larger hernias. The recurrence rate increased with older age, an increased size of the hernial sac and fascial defect, and in patients with type 2 diabetes. In epigastric hernias, early complications occurred in 5.3% (1/19) after surgery with a simple suture and in 6.1% (2/33) with mesh repair. Recurrences only occurred in operations with mesh repair, in 9% (3/33). The risk of early complications was significantly higher in type 2 diabetes patients. Conclusion: Early complications were slightly more frequent in epigastric hernia repairs with mesh implantation, but this was not the case of umbilical hernias. We recommend mesh implantation in larger and borderline sized hernias to reduce the risk of recurrence.
