BACKGROUND: Giant omphaloceles present a unique challenge to pediatric surgeons
because of the difficulty in obtaining timely, tension-free closure of tissues over the defect …

Giant omphalocele is associated with a high degree of visceroabdominal disproportion,
which prohibits safe primary closure. Conventional treatment options include (1) topical …

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 …

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 …

The authors describe a noninvasive technique for the management of giant omphaloceles.
Two patients with giant omphaloceles were managed with external compression. Dry sterile …

DISCUSSION Repair of giant omphaloceles remains controversial. There have been several
reports in the literature of novel techniques aimed at visceral reduction and abdominal wall …

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 …

Even in the absence of major associated anomalies, treatment of giant omphaloceles is
difficult primarily because of the disproportion between the large volume of the omphalocele …

Operative repair of giant omphaloceles remains a technical challenge to close the wide
abdominal wall defect. Currently, most surgeons remove the amnion to approximate the …

Giant omphaloceles present a reconstructive challenge in planning, management, and
eventual closure of the abdominal wall defect. The goal of reconstruction is to recreate a …
