ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED The umbilicus has a paramount aesthetical function for the abdomen and when removed due to a surgical procedure, an umbilicoplasty is mandatory indeed, its absence could contribute to the development of psychological disorders, especially in childhood. Herein, we describe a straightforward technique to obtain a seemingly natural umbilical scar. This technique, easily taught in a general pediatric surgery environment, may be amenable for any kind of umbilical reconstruction.
