Surgery

• Morgagni's Hernia: In asymptomatic individuals laparoscopic surgical repair is still recommended as they are at risk of a strangulated intestine.
• Diaphragm Eventration: Plication basically involves a folding of the eventrated diaphragm which is then sutured in order to “take up the slack” of the excess diaphragm tissue.
