Elective or emergency surgery is indicated in symptomatic patients and nowadays is generally performed laparoscopically. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> We report four different types of hernias: a giant hiatus hernia following a gastric pull-up for recurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia; a Bochdalek hernia in a pregnant young woman; concomitant hiatus and Morgagni hernias; and a giant hiatus hernia occupying the right chest. All were approached laparoscopically, either electively or as an emergency. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Surgery led to a resolution of symptoms in all the cases. We had no any intraoperative complications. Two patients developed minor postoperative complications (chest infection). No recurrences were found during a mean follow-up of 18 months. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> Transabdominal laparoscopic approach is a safe and
