What is the size: Less than 2 cm size ,that means barely admits the tip of index finger , rarely get incarcerates If size is larger good chance it will , so decision is based on clinical presentation also. If you don't have symptoms and is small may leave but have symptoms get it repaired is a low risk out patient procedure
