Area of Science:

Neonatal surgery
Congenital anomalies
Pediatric surgical techniques

Background:

Exomphalos major is a severe congenital defect with significant respiratory implications.
Management often involves complex surgical interventions and intensive care support.
Early stabilization is crucial for neonatal outcomes.

Observation:

A neonate presented with exomphalos major and respiratory insufficiency requiring advanced life support.
A novel vertical stabilization technique was employed for the exomphalos.
This was followed by silo application and formal surgical closure.

Findings:

The novel technique facilitated vertical stabilization of the exomphalos major.
The described method was compared to existing surgical approaches.
