    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Care
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Omphalocele is a congenital abdominal wall defect requiring careful management.
    • Infants with omphalocele present diverse clinical scenarios necessitating individualized treatment approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine optimal timing and type of treatment for infants with omphalocele.
    • To identify prognostic factors influencing treatment outcomes in omphalocele.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 62 infants diagnosed with omphalocele.
    • Classification of infants into prognostic groups using physical examination and roentgenograms.

    Main Results:

    • No single treatment method is universally optimal for all omphalocele types.
    • Treatment selection depends on emergency conditions, complicating anomalies, and omphalocele size.
    • Urgent evaluation is crucial, but emergency surgery can be avoided in specific cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Prognostic grouping aids in selecting appropriate omphalocele treatment.
    • Tailored management strategies improve outcomes for infants with omphalocele.
    • Avoidance of unnecessary emergency operations in select omphalocele cases is recommended.
