    • Abstract:
      Incarceration of an umbilical hernia (UH) rarely occurs in the pediatric population. They usually resolve spontaneously or are treated after the child turns 4–5 years old [ 1 , 2 ]. Risk factors for incarceration have been identified, but little is understood about how incarceration of an UH occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
