Surg."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Abdominal trauma is common in daily life, but a traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) in children is rare. A TAWH is caused by a huge external force that leads to subcutaneous muscle and fascia rupture, while the skin remains intact. As abdominal pressure increases, the abdominal contents protrude, forming a lump. A TAWH is highly susceptible to missed diagnosis because of other severe injuries. We report a case of a 2-year-old boy with a TAWH who developed a prominent subcutaneous mass on the right side of his abdomen after abdominal trauma; the size of the mass changed significantly with abdominal pressure and crying. In this case, we used a new approach of laparoscopic suture repair technique with the assistance of a fascial closure device and achieved good results. We found that this method offers the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, fast recovery, and no visible surgical incisions. There was no recurrence after 8\u2005months of follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1391533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]],"date-time":"2024-07-05T05:14:57Z","timestamp":1720156497000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Minimally invasive repair of a traumatic abdominal wall hernia in a child with a fascial closure device"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Huiyu","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zemin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuanguang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shujie","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingtao","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1642","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.04.004","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia\u2014a case report and literature review","volume":"46","author":"Yan","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B2","first-page":"425","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia\u2014a case of handlebar hernia","volume":"73","author":"Vincent","year":"2018","journal-title":"Med J Malaysia"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1004","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2020.06.046","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernias in children: a case for early exploration","volume":"56","author":"Hafezi","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e534","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000001153","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia in children by handlebar injury: when to suspect, scan, and call the surgeon","volume":"36","author":"Rinaldi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1410","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2012.02.003","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernias: an emerging trend in handlebar injuries","volume":"47","author":"Rathore","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2742","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-021-06177-2","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia\u2014a series of 12 patients and a review of the literature","volume":"45","author":"Alhadeedi","year":"2021","journal-title":"World J Surg"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"493","DOI":"10.5505\/tjtes.2011.40225","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia","volume":"17","author":"Gupta","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e9","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.01.031","article-title":"Laparoscopic repair of traumatic abdominal wall hernia from handlebar injury","volume":"46","author":"Rowell","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-015-3256-5","article-title":"Blunt traumatic abdominal wall hernias: a surgeon\u2019s dilemma","volume":"40","author":"Pardhan","year":"2016","journal-title":"World J Surg"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"963","DOI":"10.1007\/s12262-014-1083-9","article-title":"Traumatic abdominal wall hernia: early or delayed repair?","volume":"77","author":"Akbaba","year":"2015","journal-title":"Indian J Surg"}],"container-title":["Frontiers in Surgery"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1391533\/full","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]],"date-time":"2024-07-05T05:15:00Z","timestamp":1720156500000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1391533\/full"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1391533"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1391533","relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-875X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2296-875X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"article-number":"1391533"}}
