Background: In this study, we aimed to present the results of our patients who underwent surgical treatment for Morgagni hernia, which is not common in adults. Materials and Methods: The files of patients who underwent surgical treatment for Morgagni Hernia in our clinic between September 2009 and September 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics of the patients and surgical treatment results were recorded. The patients were divided into patients who underwent laparoscopic and open surgery. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis of the groups, p <0.05 value was considered statistically significant. Results: Open surgery was performed in 3 (50%) of 6 patients who underwent surgery, and laparoscopic surgery was performed in 3 (50%) of them. Propropylene and dual mesh were applied to all patients (except 1 patient who was taken into emergency surgery). Postoperative complications (minimal pneumothorax and atelectasis) were observed in 2 (33%) of the patients. When the patient groups (open and laparoscopic) were compared, there was a statistically significant difference between the postoperative hospital stay (p <0.037). Conclusions: This study showed that Morgagni hernia is a rare condition. Patients present with nonspecific symptoms. In addition, it can be treated with various surgical techniques. Among these, laparoscopic surgery both increases the comfort of the patient after surgery and shortens the duration of hospital stay.
