Surgical treatment in the presented case focused only on umbilicus without exploration of the abdominal cavity and appeared to be sufficient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  After returning home, call your health care provider if your baby develops any of these symptoms: Decreased bowel movements Feeding problems Fever Green or yellowish green vomit Swollen belly area Vomiting (different than normal baby spit-up) Worrisome [nlm.nih.gov]

  What to call the doctor for: Wound redness, drainage, fever. Vomiting, especially green vomiting, can indicate intestinal obstruction and requires immediate attention. [eapsa.org]

• Inguinal Hernia

  Large inguinal hernias (IH) are known to occur in this population, but have not been well described in the literature. We sought to characterize rates and complications of IH in GO patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Common complications may include: Feeding difficulties Bowel obstruction Gastroesophageal reflux Infection Delayed growth Inguinal hernias Babies with giant omphaloceles are at greater risk of long-term health issues associated with small lungs, including [women.texaschildrens.org]

  Babies with omphalocele also frequently have inguinal hernias, another condition that requires surgical repair. [chop.edu]

• Surgical Procedure

  The procedure of staged application of pericard patches is described. Delayed staged closure has the advantage of avoiding multiple surgical procedures in the neonatal period and reduces morbidity in the management of giant omphaloceles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The surgical procedure also called omphalocele repair/closure or gastroschisis repair/closure is not overly complicated. The next ultrasound, at 26 weeks, revealed the omphalocele had healed itself. [fi.bab.la]

  Then, the surgical team will then come to assess the omphalocele. Babies with a small omphalocele can usually have one surgical procedure to remove the sac and close the hole in the abdominal wall. [mottchildren.org]

  Babies may need oxygen, a ventilator or a tracheostomy, a surgical procedure that creates a hole in the windpipe so they can breathe. [foxnews.com]

  Vomiting, especially green vomiting, can indicate intestinal obstruction and requires immediate attention. Follow-up care: If the post-operative course is uneventful, the infant can see the surgeon in one or two weeks after discharge in the office. [eapsa.org]

• Cesarean Section

  Planned cesarean section performed at 40 weeks of pregnancy gave birth to an infant with a giant omphalocele 8-9 cm in size with an abdominal wall defect approximately 5 cm in size. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Mode of delivery is debatable, except for cases of giant omphalocele or extracorporeal liver, in which cesarean section should be performed. [mhmedical.com]

  Small omphaloceles do not require pre-term delivery or Cesarean section. Giant omphaloceles, however, pose a significant risk and a Cesarean section is usually recommended—particularly if a portion of the liver is exposed. [lifespan.org]

  Depending on the size of the omphalocele, you may need to deliver via cesarean section. After delivery, your baby receives advanced medical care in our Level IV Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is connected to labor and delivery. [barnesjewish.org]

  Approximately 50% of fetuses with an omphalocele have a karyotypic abnormality with trisomy 18 considered the most common 11,12,13. The risk of a chromosomal abnormality is increased in bowel containing omphaloceles 12,14,15. [iame.com]

The treatment and the hospitalization of the child are quite long. The authors present a case--a newborn with a omphalocele and share their experience. This method gives good results, shorten the treatment and the stay in hospital. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In our case of isolated omphalocele, the overall prognosis was good. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis of an isolated omphalocele - when it is not giant - is good if surgery can be early performed in good conditions. [orpha.net]

Smaller omphaloceles are thought to carry a worse prognosis due to increased risk of associated abnormalities. [radiopaedia.org]

OBJECTIVE: The omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare variant of the bladder exstrophy epispadias complex with in most cases unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Omphalocele is due to the defective closure of the abdominal wall in the embryo before 9 weeks of gestation, i.e. 11 weeks of amenorrhea. Diagnostic methods Diagnosis is usually made before birth by ultrasound. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology [ edit ] Exomphalos is caused by a failure of the ventral body wall to form and close the naturally occurring umbilical hernia that occurs during embryonic folding which is a process of embryogenesis. [4] The normal process of embryogenesis [en.wikipedia.org]

These data support the need to better understand the underlying pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension, so therapy can target its causes in omphalocele infants. [intechopen.com]

After birth, clamping of the umbilical cord away from the base prevented iatrogenic atresia of the ileum. Surgical treatment had to be arranged during the first days of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
