We describe herein the successful utilization of a video-assisted thoracic surgical approach to repair Morgagni's hernia. The patient was a 62-year-old woman in whom a routine chest X-ray had revealed an asymptomatic mass, which was presumed to be a pericardial lipoma or Morgagni's hernia. The video-assisted thoracic surgical approach was combined with a right submammary minithoracotomy to successfully repair the hernia without performing a laparotomy. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged 14 days after surgery. Thus, we believe that video-assisted thoracic surgery may be a useful and effective method for repairing Morgagni's hernia.
我们在此描述了应用电视辅助胸腔镜手术方法成功修复 Morgagni 疝的病例。患者为一名 62 岁女性，常规胸部 X 光检查发现一个无症状肿块，推测为心包脂肪瘤或 Morgagni 疝。电视辅助胸腔镜手术方法联合右乳房下小切口开胸术，成功修复了疝，未进行开腹手术。患者术后恢复顺利，术后 14 天出院。因此，我们认为电视辅助胸腔镜手术可能是修复 Morgagni 疝的一种有用且有效的方法。
