Laparoscopic treatment has been recommended for gastric prolapse in Morgagni hernia. We describe a 92‐year‐old woman diagnosed with gastric prolapse in Morgagni hernia. Endoscopic treatment was chosen because surgical or laparoscopic treatment was not tolerable for her. We successfully replaced gastric prolapse by aspirating air and fluid in the prolapsed antrum and subsequently advanced the endoscope to the duodenum. This new endoscopic technique is relatively simple, non‐invasive and useful as an alternative method of surgical or laparoscopic treatment, especially in patients with high risk for these invasive treatments.
