CONCLUSION: Reconstruction with acellular bovine pericardial patch is a viable option in children with high-risk abdominal wounds as it allows tensionless repair with excellent healing and minimal complications. Recurrence, if any, may disappear with time as remodeling of the prosthesis occurs along with the growth of the body wall of the child.
