This study introduces a novel umbilical reconstruction technique using a flap to create a durable, deep navel. The procedure ensures long-term aesthetic results for patients undergoing umbilical reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Umbilical reconstruction is a common procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
  • Maintaining the natural depth and appearance of the umbilicus post-reconstruction can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A new surgical technique for umbilical reconstruction was developed.
  • The procedure involves creating a circular cone using an abdominal flap.

Findings:

  • The technique was successfully applied to 9 patients, yielding good results.
  • The method utilizes a single or double flap to form a 3D structure with a single or double suture line.
  • This approach effectively preserves the umbilical depth over an extended period.

Implications:
