The clinical application of laparoscopic-assisted suture hook technique in the repair of Morgagni hernia.
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMorgagni hernia is a relatively rare type of diaphragmatic hernia, accounting for approximately 3% to 4% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Currently, imaging studies play a crucial role in determining the location, size, and characteristics of the diaphragmatic defect and the herniated contents. Once diagnosed, surgical intervention should be the standard treatment. This study aims to share our experience with five cases of surgical treatment for Morgagni hernia, providing a reference for clinical practice.
methodsWe collected relevant clinical and imaging data from five patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted suture hook technique for Morgagni hernia at our institution.
resultsAmong the five patients treated with laparoscopic-assisted suture hook technique, 60% were male, and all cases were on the right side, with a mean age of 59.4 years. Eighty percent of the patients were overweight or obese, with a mean BMI of 26.03. All patients presented with symptoms, with the most common being chest pain and upper abdominal pain. The most common herniated content was the omentum (100%), followed by the transverse colon (60%). The average surgical duration was 57.6 minutes, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 8 ml. All patients retained the hernial sac, and no drainage tubes were placed during the surgery. The average postoperative hospital stay was 2.8 days. The average follow-up period post-discharge was 10 months, during which all symptoms resolved, and there were no recurrences.
conclusionLaparoscopic-assisted suture hook technique for the repair of Morgagni hernia is a safe and feasible surgical approach. It is characterized by short operative time, minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, and low recurrence rates. Additionally, this surgical technique is simple and easy to learn, with relatively low requirements for laparoscopy suturing and knot-tying skills.
