ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the normal position of the umbilicus and hence improve the cosmetic result of exomphalos major repair. METHODS: The position of the umbilicus was determined in 50 neonates with respect to the xiphisternum and pubis. RESULTS: The normal umbilical position is 60% of the way from the inferior border of the xiphisternum to the superior border of the pubis in the midline. CONCLUSION: In the repair of exomphalos major, the most aesthetically pleasing result is obtained if the umbilicus is placed 60% of the way from the xiphisternum to the pubis.
