    Radical primary repair is the preferred treatment for omphalocele, even for large defects. Improved neonatal care has enhanced surgical success rates, though associated anomalies and sepsis remain critical factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Omphalocele, a congenital abdominal wall defect, presents significant management challenges.
    • Historically, treatment options for large omphaloceles were limited, often involving staged repairs.
    • Advances in neonatal intensive care have created new possibilities for surgical intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of omphalocele treatment over a ten-year period.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of radical primary repair for omphalocele.
    • To identify factors influencing surgical success and mortality in omphalocele cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 32 omphalocele cases treated over ten years.
    • Analysis of surgical techniques, focusing on radical primary repair.

  • Assessment of patient outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and associated anomalies.

    • Main Results:

    • Radical primary repair was deemed the method of choice in most cases, including large defects.
    • Associated anomalies, particularly cardiac defects (25% of cases), significantly impacted outcomes.
    • Sepsis development was another critical factor affecting surgical success.
    • Overall mortality decreased from 41% (1973-1982) to 33% in the last five years of the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Radical primary repair is a successful and preferred approach for omphalocele management.
    • Improved neonatal intensive care and support measures are crucial for extending repair indications.
    • Management strategies must address associated anomalies and sepsis to further improve omphalocele survival rates.
