Ventral Abdominal Wall Defects

NeoReviews, 2013
Omphalocele and gastroschisis are the two most common congenital abdominal wall defects requiring neonatal intensive care. Historically treated as a single entity, they represent two distinct pathologies with different clinical management algorithms and associated outcomes. With improvements in prenatal diagnosis, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric

Hernias and Abdominal Wall Defects

2001
A hernia is a protrusion of visceral contents through the abdominal wall. There are two key components of a hernia. The first is the defect itself, namely the size and location of the fascial opening, and the second component is the hernia sac, which is a protrusion of peritoneum through the defect. The hernia sac may contain abdominal contents such as

Congenital Defects of the Abdominal Wall

2006
We reviewed a 22 year experience with 138 newborn infants with congenital evisceration through defects of the abdominal wall. Omphalocele is a large defect which always has a sac, in which the rectus muscles insert laterally on the costal margins and which usually has associated anomalies.

Abdominal Wall Defects

2019
Abdominal wall defects can be divided into two groups depending on their embryological origins: gastroschisis, ectopia cordis and bladder exstrophy in one group and exomphalos in the other [1]. In practice, there is an overlap particularly with regard to bladder exstrophy, pentalogy of Cantrell and exomphalos.

Abdominal Wall Expansion in Congenital Defects

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1989
A method for expanding the skin, fascia, muscle, and peritoneal layers of the abdominal wall is described, and clinical application is demonstrated in two children with cloacal exstrophy and congenital absence of the lower half of the abdominal wall. This technique provides an innervated composite reconstruction of defects in excess of 50 percent of ...

Abdominal wall defect with liver appendage

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1989
We present an unusual case in which an appendage of the liver was the only herniated organ through a small defect on the left lower quadrant of the abdominal wall. To our knowledge this is the first case reported with this malformation.

Giant Abdominal Wall Defects

2008
The term “giant abdominal wall defects” effectively describes many clinical aspects that are characterised by a large ventral hernia associated with many difficult clinical situations [1]. The definition, the diagnosis, and the surgical technique are not standardised; rather, every clinical situation is unique, and the surgeon needs to plan the ...

Diagnosis of Abdominal Wall Defects

1999
In general, pathological findings of the abdominal wall and inguinal region are easily accessible due to their superficial location. In most cases, the correct diagnosis can be reached on the basis of history, symptoms and clinical examination. Although ultrasound investigations are part of our standard routine and in the majority of our patients ...

Anterior abdominal wall defects

Current Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1991
Defects in the anterior abdominal wall or ‘belly-clefts’ have been a recognised congenital malformation for many centuries but only relatively recently has clear differentiation been made. For practical purposes, they are classifiable into body stalk anomaly, exomphalos (or omphalocele), hernia into the cord or gastroschisis.
