Abstract


Morgagni-Larrey hernias represent a subgroup of Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDHs), involving the anterior part of the muscle. They are complex developmental defects often representing a diagnostic and treatment challenge for both pediatricians and pediatric surgeons.
We report our first case of a robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of a Morgagni hernia in an 8.3 kg 14-month-old girl with the use of the Da Vinci® Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical®, Sunnyvale, CA, USA)
