Staged closure of a giant omphalocele with amnion preservation, modified technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Closure of a giant omphalocele can be challenging. Preservation of the amnion in staged closure is not commonly practiced. Here, we describe 2 cases of giant omphalocele treated with a modified amnion preservation, staged closure technique. This paper demonstrates the feasibility and safety of this technique, and the versatility of amnion to adapt to an escharization strategy if closure is not achievable.

Staged Closure of Giant Omphalocele using Synthetic Mesh
Giant omphalocele is difficult to manage and is associated with a poor outcome. A male newborn presented to our hospital with a giant omphalocele. We performed a staged closure of giant omphalocele using synthetic mesh to construct a silo and then mesh abdominoplasty in the neonatal period that led to a successful outcome within a reasonable period of hospital stay.
متن کاملRepair of cloacal exstrophy, omphalocele, and gastroschisis using porcine small-intestinal submucosa or cadaveric skin homograft.
The traditional surgical methods typically used to repair the abdominal wall defect present in cloacal exstrophy, omphalocele, and gastroschisis during the neonatal period include definitive primary muscle, fascia, and skin closure, primary skin closure only with late ventral hernia repair, and a staged closure using a silo. The method chosen usually depends on the extent of visceral edema, the...
متن کاملCongenital Abdominal Wall Defects: Staged closure by Dual Mesh
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility of GORE® DUALMESH (GDM) in the staged closure of large congenital abdominal wall defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of patients with congenital abdominal wall defects managed with GDM was analyzed for outcome regarding complete fascial closure; mesh related complications; and post-discharge gastrointestinal surgery. RESULTS GDM was placed in 34 (g...
متن کاملExtended Component Separation for Repair of High Ventral Hernia in Pediatric Omphalocele
Abdominal wall reconstruction ideally involves maintenance of domain by restoration of competent fascia and innervated muscle. Component separation allows closure of ventral hernias, but the technique is limited for high abdominal defects in the epigastric region. We describe an extended component separation that facilitated mobilization of the rectus abdominis muscle along its costal insertion...
متن کاملCaring for the newborn with an omphalocele.
An omphalocele, a ventral defect of the umbilical ring resulting in herniation of the abdominal viscera, is one of the most common congenital abdominal wall defects seen in the newborn. Omphaloceles occur in 1 in 3000 to 10,000 live births. Associated malformations such as chromosomal, cardiac, or genitourinary abnormalities are common. Postnatal management includes protection of the herniated ...
