Morgagni hernia is a rare form (accounting for 2%) of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The traditional treatment for Morgagni hernia includes thoracotomy and laparotomy. However, surgical trauma limits its adoption. We reported the results of 2 patients with congenital Morgagni hernias in adults and described the operation methods of the patients. The 2 patients recovered uneventfully. No evidence of recurrence was found after 5 years follow-up. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia with mesh is applicable for obese, aged and bilateral Morgagni hernias patients.
