Traumatic bicycle handlebar hernia in children: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic abdominal wall hernia can be visualized by ultrasonography, but CT scan is often used as the final diagnostic modality because of the risk of associated intra-abdominal injuries. Open surgical repair in layers or laparoscopic suturing during diagnostic laparoscopy may be appropriate in managing traumatic abdominal wall hernias in children. Non-surgical management has been described, but available data do not support a general recommendation for a non-surgical approach. PMID: 29301610 [PubMed - in process]
