Journal of Neonatal Surgery is a peer-reviewed and open-access electronic journal. Only few journals are being published on especially from developing country, which justifies the need new journal this subject.

We describe the case of a neonate with an umbilical hernia and persistent wet umbilicus. Examination revealed a pulsatile umbilical cord with palpable thrill. Doppler ultrasound suspected umbilical arteriovenous malformation and contrast-enhanced computed tomography was performed leading to a definitive diagnosis. Surgery was successfully performed on day 27.

On Aug. 24, 1896, I saw a child which had been born the day before. The child, a full time male, 51 cms. long, was well, and except at the navel, well formed. At the navel the abdominal wall was defective over an almost circular area of 6 cms. diameter,the space being occupied by a nearly hemispherical swelling covered by the expanded membranes of the umbilical cord. The swelling protruded abou...

A 2-day-old, term male neonate, weighing 2.1 kg, 1st in birth order was born by normal delivery. He presented to our department with a small fleshy swelling at the base of the umbilicus, bilious vomiting and epigastric fullness. Antenatal ultrasounds were not done. On examination, the baby was hemodynamically stable, pulse rate150/min and respiratory rate-50/min. anicteric and mildly dehydrated...

objectives: considering the rarity of umbilical cord prolapse (ucp) and lack of accurate data about the risk factors and health outcomes, we aimed to evaluate cases of cesarean section (cs) due to ucp in order to reduce treatment costs and provide information about the mortality and morbidity associated with this condition.patients & methods: of 35,259 cases of cs performed in four hospitals du...

conclusion reference ranges for umbilical cord csa have been generated. the csa of the umbilical cord and other components of it increase as a function of gestational age. these measurements correlate with fetal size. results the values of the csa of the umbilical cord, umbilical vein and wharton’s jelly (wj) increase consistently until 30 weeks of gestation, after which they reach a plateau. t...

ess the relationship between umbilical cord blood gases at birth and morphology of umbilical cord, in a prospective study of 200 consecutive term delivery, we investigated the relationship between umbilical cord morphology characteristics (umbilical crd length, number of vascular coil, coiling index) and color of amniotic fluid and umbilical vessel blood gases. statistically significant linear ...

Cell therapy was proposed as a potential treatment intervention for liver cirrhosis recently due to the fact that the therapeutic protocol for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-associated refractory umbilical hernia and hepatic hydrothorax is not well defined currently. We report herein the case of a 58-year-old woman who received routine treatments for PBC, which developed into an incarcerated h...
