Introduction Alloderm is commonly used in abdominal wall reconstruction, however its
integrity can fail in the long term. We describe the repair of a giant omphalocele defect in a …

Giant omphaloceles often present with a loss of abdominal domain. An intact sac may permit
simple daily dressings to promote epithelialization for a delayed operative closure; a …

Giant omphaloceles are associated with a considerable loss of abdominal domain. Early
primary repair of the fascia is either not possible or poorly tolerated by the infant. Current …

Reconstruction of complex anterior abdominal wall defects, such as giant omphaloceles,
remains a reconstructive challenge for plastic and pediatric surgeons. Though several repair …

Background Omphalocele is a congenital abdominal wall defect with an incidence of
1/4,200 births. Repair timing varies from the neonatal period to the first few years of life …

BACKGROUND: The management of giant omphaloceles (GO) can be quite difficult when
there is absence of abdominal domain. Coverage with delayed closure has been described …

Background The described surgical strategies for the management of omphalocele include
primary closure, staged closure, and delayed closure. A primary repair is not suitable for all …

Large ventral hernias (VH) following conservative treatment of a giant omphalocele are a
major challenge for pediatric surgeons. Although primary closure is accepted as the ideal …

We report a case of ruptured giant omphalocele in whom herniated organs were
successfully covered by an absorbable mesh and a subsequent skin graft. A 2,200 g male …

Giant omphaloceles (GO) frequently present challenges to closure that are often influenced
by patient factors, including degree of visceroabdominal disproportion, associated …
