Staged repair of giant omphalocele in the neonatal period

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2005
The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of giant omphalocele repaired in the neonatal period.Twelve consecutive (1997-2004) neonates with giant omphalocele (defect >6 cm with liver herniation) were reviewed. A silo of Prolene mesh (Ethicon) was attached to the fascia and the defect was closed without opening the amniotic sac after sequential ...

Giant Omphalocele Complicated by 9P Minus Syndrome

Journal of the National Medical Association, 2021
Omphalocele is characterized as a ventral wall defect in which there exists a midline herniation of abdominal viscera into the base of the umbilical cord. Fetuses with a diagnosis of this entity are at a significantly increased risk of having an aneuploidy, additional anomalies, or associations with other syndromes such as Beckwith Wiederman. Secondary

Challenges of Giant Omphalocele

NeoReviews, 2008
Advances in the diagnosis of congenital defects have led to the development of a multidisciplinary approach to prenatal counseling and postnatal management. New techniques in fetal imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide clinicians with better anatomic detail of such anomalies.

Sequential sac ligation for giant omphalocele

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1994
The authors describe a technique for the management of giant omphalocele in which the sac is not resected, but used to sequentially reduce the contents into the abdominal cavity. Three patients were treated in this fashion. Delayed primary fascial closure was achieved in two.

Pulmonary hypertension in giant omphalocele infants

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2014
Pulmonary hypoplasia has been described in cases of giant omphalocele (GO), although pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been extensively studied in this disorder. In the present study, we describe rates and severity of PH in GO survivors who underwent standardized prenatal and postnatal care at our institution.A retrospective chart review was ...

Management of Giant Omphalocele: A Case Series

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2012
Giant omphalocele (GO) is congenital abdominal wall defect measuring >6 cm and/or containing liver.[1] The omphalocele sac consists of amnion and peritoneum, and is prone to rupture either in utero, during delivery or after birth. The surgical management of neonates with GO is challenging.

Giant Omphalocele Filled by a Duplication Cyst

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1998
Ileal duplication cysts within a giant omphalocele are very rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the English literature (4). We report one case of giant omphalocele, which included a huge ileal duplication cyst, detected by prenatal US, and diagnosed at surgery after birth. This case illustrates the diagnostic and therapeutic problems occurring

A strategy for treatment of giant omphalocele

World Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
The management of giant omphalocele (GO) presents a major challenge to pediatric surgeons. Current treatment modalities may result in wound infection, fascial separation, and abdominal domain loss. We report a GO infant who required a delayed closure and was managed using sterile incision drape and polypropylene mesh.A 3080 g full-term female infant ...

Breastfeeding Success in Infants With Giant Omphalocele

Advances in Neonatal Care, 2012
Infants born with a giant omphalocele often require multiple surgeries requiring a lengthy hospital stay. These vulnerable infants may experience a long period of being NPO (nothing by mouth), followed by slowly advancing to enteral feeds. Human milk is the ideal method of nutrition for all infants and should be used to initiate enteral feeds in ...
