Laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide but it is associated with an increased incidence of de-novo or recurrent GERD. Recently a new technique consisting in LSG with associated fundoplication has been described. Morgagni-Larrey hernia is very rare and there is a lack of evidences on its correct surgical treatment. There are only rare cases of a MLH incidental diagnosis in patients submitted to bariatric surgery. We present our experience of Morgagni-Larrey Hernia (MLH) incidentally found intraoperatively in a patient with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) with Hiatal Hernia (HH) undergoing a bariatric surgical procedure.

Abstract
Laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide but it is associated with an increased incidence of de-novo or recurrent GERD. Recently a new technique consisting in LSG with associated fundoplication has been described. Morgagni-Larrey hernia is very rare and there is a lack of evidences on its correct surgical treatment. There are only rare cases of a MLH incidental diagnosis in patients submitted to bariatric surgery. We present our experience of Morgagni-Larrey Hernia (MLH) incidentally found intraoperatively in a patient with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) with Hiatal Hernia (HH) undergoing a bariatric surgical procedure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
