“…There is also a case report of such a hernia being managed conservatively [ 13 ]. In terms of surgical approach, both laparoscopic and open surgery has been reported to be appropriate [ 14 ]. Our case demonstrates the advantages of a minimally invasive approach with early hospital discharge and minimal morbidity.…”

“…Management recommendation by most of the reports in the literature for HH is early or delayed surgical—open or laparoscopy—repair of the hernia to prevent complications like incarceration or strangulation [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ]. However, since 2007 several surgeons were successful in managing TAWH conservatively [ 1 , 4 , 7 ].…”

Handlebar hernias are very rare and occur after a blunt abdominal trauma by a bicycle handlebar or a handlebar-shape object. As a result the abdominal wall musculature and fascia are disrupted while the skin is still intact. A good history of the injury and physical examination are usually enough to pose a diagnosis. We report the case of bicycle-handlebar hernia in a 6-year-old boy who presented to our emergency department because of a reducible swelling above the left iliac crest after falling from his bicycle 3 days ago. The patient was treated conservatively with a weekly follow-up. Four weeks later the muscle disruption was healed. In pediatric patient in the absence of internal organ injuries, a handlebar hernia can successfully be managed conservatively.
