A novel conical flap technique offers a new method for umbilical reconstruction, achieving satisfactory depth and long-term results. This surgical approach provides a viable alternative for patients needing an absent umbilicus reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Background:

  • Reconstruction of an absent umbilicus remains a challenge in plastic surgery.
  • Existing techniques often yield suboptimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel surgical technique for umbilical reconstruction using a conical flap.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term results of this new method.

Main Methods:

  • A new technique involving a conical flap for umbilical reconstruction was developed.
  • Two clinical cases demonstrating the application of this technique were presented.

Main Results:

  • The conical flap technique successfully created an umbilicus with adequate depth.

  • Good aesthetic results were observed, with depth maintained for over one year post-surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The conical flap technique represents a promising alternative for umbilical reconstruction.
    • This method provides durable and aesthetically pleasing results for absent umbilicus reconstruction.
