Navigating the intricacies of a term neonate with coexistent giant omphalocele, right diaphragmatic hernia and partial Cantrell’s pentalogy

BMJ Case Reports
A term neonate (TN) of 2 days, delivered by lower segment caesarean section in a private nursing home of a rural area, was referred to the outpatient department of paediatric surgery with a chief concern of large abdominal swelling and mild respiratory ...

Predictors of mortality in neonates with giant omphaloceles

Minerva Pediatrics, 2018
This analysis performed a review of giant-omphaloceles to determine the predictors of mortality.PubMed and KoBson databases were searched for terms "giant," "omphalocele," and "mortality." Primary end points included mortality correlation with gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), eviscerated organs, associated anomalies and management. To calculate

A Multi-Institutional Comparison of Management Techniques for Infants with Giant Omphalocele.

Journal of Pediatric Surgery
PURPOSE Giant omphaloceles (GO) are uncommon with no consensus on treatment strategy. Placement of a DuoDerm® silo (DDS) is a novel management technique. We sought to identify optimal approach by comparing outcomes of patients who underwent DDS placement,

Giant Omphalocele

JAMA, 1963
THE OPERATION devised by Gross, in 1948, has made it possible to save the lives of many infants with enormous omphaloceles, in whom a primary closure of the abdominal wall in all of its layers is out of the question. Pointing out that forceful approximation of the widely separated recti resulted in intolerable increase in intra-abdominal pressure and ...

Giant omphalocele: Delayed closure using the San Martin technique following epithelialization of the membrane.

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2021
AIM The management of patients with congenital anterior abdominal wall defects remains challenging, particularly in cases of giant omphalocele. In 1948, San Martín described a surgical technique for the repair of large midline incisional hernias in ...

External compression as initial management of giant omphaloceles

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
The authors describe a noninvasive technique for the management of giant omphaloceles. Two patients with giant omphaloceles were managed with external compression. Dry sterile dressings were used, buttressed by an Ace bandage in the first case and by a handcrafted Velcro abdominal binder in the second. The binder was tightened every 2 or 3 days. Renal,

Management of giant omphalocele with a simple and efficient nonsurgical silo

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2021
Giant omphaloceles can be a challenge for pediatric surgeons and neonatologists worldwide. It is a rare and low-frequency congenital anomaly with no standardized management schemes or treatment protocols. Over the past few decades, we have developed a simple and efficient staged management for giant omphaloceles that allows definitive closure in the ...

Giant omphaloceles: surgical management and perinatal outcomes

Journal of Surgical Research, 2015
The purpose of this study was to describe the current management and outcomes of infants with omphalocele.The medical records of all patients treated for omphalocele at a large children's hospital from January, 2003-February, 2014 were reviewed. Patients were classified as having an isolated omphalocele or omphalocele with minor or major associated ...

Early reconstruction of the abdominal wall in giant omphalocele

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Omphalocele is the most common congenital defect of the abdominal wall. Mortality rate is between 20 and 70% and early closure of the abdominal wall, within 10 days of life, is vital to the successful outcome of the surgical treatment. The authors describe the use of two bipedicled flaps of abdominal skin to correct the defect of the midline as soon as

External silo reduction of the unruptured giant omphalocele

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1987
Construction of an external silo dressing over the intact omphalocele membrane allows complete reduction of the giant omphalocele with enlargement of the abdominal cavity before surgical intervention, so that primary closure of the abdominal wall can be achieved.
