Abstract
I read with much interest the paper by Keshtgar and Griffiths ([2]) on the incarceration of umbilical hernia in children. They reported on 7 patients, aged 3.5 - 5 years (median 3 years), with incarceration managed over a period of 3 years in a regional paediatric surgical centre in England. In their report and in one other report ([3]), incarceration was most frequent in umbilical hernias with a defect diameter of 0.5 - 1.5 cm.
