We describe a technique that allows the creation of a better looking inverted umbilicus. A total of 19 patients between 5 days and 7 years old underwent umbilicoplasty. At the apex of the vertical midline wound the skin and superficial fascia are elevated off the anterior rectus sheath well ...
umbilical vesicle,vesicula umbilicus,vitelline sac sac- a structure resembling a bag in an animal 2.yolk sac- membranous structure enclosing the yolk of eggs in birds, reptiles, marsupials, and some fishes; circulates nutrients to the developing embryo ...
Purpose: The umbilicus is an important aesthetic component of the abdomen. Its absence is both cosmetically and psychologically distressing to the patient. Umbilical reconstruction should always be aimed at creating an umbilicus of sufficient depth and good morphology with less scarring. The C-V flap...
The umbilicus is exposed by women and men at various times in public, and an attractive umbilicus can be important. The author discusses the umbilical position and the means physicians have used to determine what appears to be normal. The shape of the umbilicus has different ideas as to what...
The inverted-V chevron inset achieves an arrowhead-shaped design of the original umbilicus that encourages natural retrusion, inferior slope, and a cranial fold. It creates the appearance of a small umbilicus with an appropriate opening that other incisions fail to recreate. To avoid tethering ...
Various methods have been devised to reconstruct the umbilicus by using local flaps, purse-string sutures, or a cartilage graft, but there are no ideal methods. The authors have created a modified inverted C-V flap with conjoint flaps. A 10-year-old boy presented with deformed umbilicus ...
In this Featured Operative Technique, the authors describe their technique for performing an inverted-V chevron umbilicoplasty, which is their method of choice for restoring the umbilicus to an aesthetic and youthful appearance with minimal scarring.Malcolm...

CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a patent omphalomesenteric duct with ileal prolapse and ileal rupture as its complication. It is a case of a 1-year-old infant with a history of unusual bleed-on-touch mass emerging from the anterior abdominal wall with absent umbilicus. Once his ...
In these patients, the first trocar was inserted into the umbilicus region. Laparoscopic surgery was then performed with three trocars. The patients were discharged upon favorable outcome after surgery. No recurrence of ileus was noted post-surgery. Laparoscopy was useful both to diagnose and treat...
