The aim of this study was to compare the operative parameters and complication rates between the umbilical (UMB) and right upper quadrant (RUQ) skin incisions for Ramstedt's pyloromyotomy for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically searched. The studies where any one of the main outcomes of interest, i.e., operative time, wound infection rate, mucosal perforation rate were reported were eligible for inclusion. The statistical analysis was performed using a random-effects model. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Fifteen studies comprising 2964 infants were included. As compared to the UMB group, the RUQ group showed a significantly lower mean operative time (p = 0.0004), wound infection rate (p < 0.0001) and mucosal perforation rate (p = 0.02). Although UMB incision produces an almost undetectable scar, this approach results in significantly more complications. Therefore, the risks and benefits must be weighed and discussed with the caregivers in deciding the surgical approach in patients with IHPS. However, due to a poor methodological quality of nine out of fifteen studies, further studies need to be conducted for an optimal comparison between the two groups.

INTRODUCTION: Combined ventral hernia repair and abdominoplasty treat risk factors such as high body mass index and weak abdominal musculature, providing excellent intraoperative exposure and improved patient outcomes. Unfortunately, a combination of traditional procedures is unfeasible as the umbilical blood supply would be compromised, leading to increased umbilical necrosis risk. This narrative review aimed to identify new techniques and solidify evidence in preserving umbilical blood supply and associated level of evidence. METHODS: Two authors conducted a thorough literature search on PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane CENTRAL databases from January 1901 to July 2023, adhering to the methodologies of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Studies were reviewed for their surgical technique and quality of evidence. The primary outcomes of interest consisted of umbilical complications of this combined procedure. RESULTS: Six techniques were identified that included laparoscopic, pre-rectus, unilateral, distal bilateral, proximal bilateral, and inferior midline approaches. All techniques demonstrated as viable options in preserving umbilical blood supply as reported complications were few, minor, and compounded by risk factors. However, all included techniques were limited to low-to-moderate-quality evidence. CONCLUSION: Despite the lack of high-quality evidence, all techniques remain viable options for combined ventral hernia repair and abdominoplasty. Large-scale high-quality RCTs are required to compare the effectiveness of various approaches with additional outcomes of hernia recurrence rates, intraoperative time, and patient- and surgeon-reported satisfaction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) can be treated by various pyeloplasty techniques. We present a hybrid technique incorporating elements of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and open pyeloplasty through a single umbilical incision. As a result, seven infants with UPJO underwent the hybrid pyeloplasty smoothly. The mean operative time was 131.9 min. At a follow-up of 11.8-50.0 months, all infants showed significant improvement and no symptoms except for one febrile urinary tract infection. The cosmetic results were very satisfactory without obvious visible scars. Therefore, the hybrid pyeloplasty appears to be a simple and effective minimally invasive surgery for treating infant UPJO.

Sister Mary Joseph nodule (SMJN) is a rare clinical finding in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma. This is a case report of a 69-year-old man, who presented with a cutaneous element by his umbilicus at his GP. He was referred to a dermatologist, then a plastic surgeon. The element was a metastasis from adenocarcinoma originating from his caecum. It is important for doctors to know of SMJN as a rare presentation of metastatic cancer, and to clinically examine the patient for an abdominal starting point, when presented with a cutaneous tumour at the position of the umbilicus.

PURPOSE: Transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted surgery (TULS) mixed benefits of laparoscopic and open surgeries. Transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy (TULAA) is a well-known procedure, accepted and currently used by pediatric surgeons for treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis (UA). There is no current agreement in its use for the complicated appendiceal infections (CA). We reported our results using TULAA for both UA and CA. METHODS: We retrospectively collected TULAA performed between April 2017 and April 2022. Appendicitis were classified in UA and CA. We analyzed conversion rate, operative time, length of stay, surgical site infections (SSIs) rate, postoperative intra-abdominal abscess and costs. RESULTS: Over 5 years, 316 children underwent TULAA. Conversion rate was 3%. Mean age at surgery was 9.36 years (IQR 2-16). Forty-nine appendicitis were CA. Operative time and hospital stay was higher in CA than in UA group (38.33 vs. 60.73 min, p < 0.00001; 4 vs. 7 days, p < 0.00001). SSIs rate showed no statistically significant difference between two groups. Incidence of postoperative intra-abdominal collections was 11% in CA and 1% in UA. TULAA's cost was 192.07 . CONCLUSION: In our series, TULAA seems to be safe, feasible and cost-effective for both uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis, with no disadvantage in terms of outcomes compared to what is reported in literature for CLS.

BACKGROUND: Patent omphalomesenteric duct is one of the birth defects included in the spectrum of vitelline duct abnormalities. It is a rare anomaly with estimated prevalence of 0.13-0.2% in the general population. The most common presentation of patent vitelline duct is yellowish or mucoid type umbilical discharge which is usually noted in neonatal age or infancy. The main stay of diagnosis is clinical and outcome is favorable as long as timely surgical correction is offered. Here we present a 2 years old male child who presented with ileal prolapse through patent vitelline duct which is an exceptional mode of presentation of this pathology. CASE PRESENTATION: 2 years old Ethiopian male child who was noticed to have umbilical discharge since early infancy presented with protrusion of pinkish mass per the umbilicus of 4 h duration. He had no signs and symptoms of bowel obstruction. Abdominal examination revealed a prolapsed bowel which was viable via the umbilicus which was about 6 cm long. Otherwise, he had no abdominal tenderness or rigidity. He was explored with a smiley incision just above the umbilicus. The prolapsed bowel was reduced gently to the abdominal cavity. The tract of the Patent vitelline duct was identified and completely resected along with a wedge of ileum at its base. Primary repair of the ileal end where the tract was inserted was done in two layers and abdomen was closed in layers. The child had smooth post op course and was discharged on the 4th post-operative day. CONCLUSION: Prolapse of a bowel through the umbilicus is unusual presentation of a rare anomaly namely patent vitelline duct. This presentation warrants early surgical intervention before bowel ischemia issues. Hence, all clinicians dealing with children should be aware of this rare pathology so that urgent surgical management can be offered.

RATIONALE: Patent vitellointestinal duct is the most common omphalomesenteric duct anomaly to present with symptoms. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 10-day-old child presented with increase in the size of a polypoidal lesion into a large, "Y"-shaped reddish, prolapsing lesion, discharging gaseous, and fecal matter at her umbilicus. A laparoscopic exploration was performed, followed by wedge resection and anastomosis. No complications occurred during postoperative follow-up. DIAGNOSES: A patent vitellointestinal duct with ileal prolapse. INTERVENTIONS: The resection of extended intraperitoneal intestinal tube was performed. OUTCOMES: During the follow-up 3 months after surgery, the umbilical cord of the child healed well after surgery. LESSONS: Timely surgical treatment can minimize the occurrence of complications, and the overall prognosis is good after surgery.

BACKGROUND: The umbilical stoma (umbistoma) has been proposed as a viable alternative site for a temporary defunctioning stoma. Suggested advantages of the umbistoma include decreased number of surgical incisions required, improved cosmesis and ease of reversal surgery. This study aimed to assess the patient experience of umbilical loop ileostomies in rectal surgery, with the primary outcome being patient reported quality of life (QoL). METHODS: A total of 20 patients undergoing laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery were randomly allocated to have a defunctioning ileostomy at a conventional site (right iliac fossa) or at the umbilicus. Patient-reported QoL was assessed at 6 weeks using the Stoma-QoL questionnaire. Secondary outcomes were number of stomas reversed, length of time awaiting stoma reversal surgery, duration of operative time for stoma reversal, length of hospital stay following stoma reversal and rate of parastomal or post reversal incisional hernias. RESULTS: Patients who had an umbilical stoma scored significantly lower on the Stoma-QoL questionnaire compared to the conventional group, particularly on questions regarding feelings of tiredness, body insecurity and anxiety. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in relation to secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION: There may be potential disadvantages to the umbilical stoma with negative impacts on body image and subsequent increased social anxiety. Patient selection and adequate counselling will be important when considering an umbilical stoma. Further larger scale prospective studies are required to further validate the feasibility and longer-term safety of umbilical stomas in both clinical outcomes as well as patient QoL.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neoumbilicoplasty aims to reconstruct an aesthetically pleasing new umbilicus following agenesis, malignancy, anatomical distortion, or umbilicus loss. Despite the wide variety of surgical techniques described, literature is scarce when it comes to standardized categorization of these as well as the clear definition of patients' selections, specific indications, final outcomes, and possible complications. According to available literature, this work aims to evaluate different surgical approaches, and correlate them to specific surgical needs, to simplify the surgical choice and patient management. METHODS: A systematic review was performed in December 2020 in PubMed, Web of Science, and MedLine Ovid databases according to the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 41 studies and 588 patients were finally included. On the basis of the evidence of the literature collected, we divided the studies into four groups according to the neoumbilicoplasty techniques: single suture or purse-string suture, single flap, multiple flap, and skin graft. Patients' surgical comorbidities, neoumbilicoplasty indications, and aesthetic and surgical outcomes were investigated. Direct suture and single and multiple flap techniques assured overall, satisfactory cosmetic outcomes with a low rate of surgical complications. Whereas suture-only techniques were chosen mostly by general surgeons/urologists in laparoscopic surgery, the single flap was the preferred method to reconstruct the umbilicus in open abdominal surgery or combined abdominoplasty with herniorrhaphy. Multiple flap and skin grafts were adopted in abdominoplasty-related umbilicus reconstruction, although the latter option showed impactful aesthetic and surgical complications. CONCLUSIONS: Umbilicoplasty can assure generally pleasant aesthetic outcomes with relatively low complication rates. Indications for specific techniques correspond to different patient populations and surgical scenarios.

OBJECTIVES: Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) and transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) have shown the prospection as minimally invasive procedures. Here we aimed to compare ovarian cystectomy assisted by vNOTES and by LESS for ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 81 premenopausal women with OMCT were randomized to undergo ovarian cystectomy assisted by either vNOTES (n = 41) or LESS (n = 40). The main outcome was the operative time. Secondary outcomes included the length of hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, abdominal contamination by teratoma contents, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. RESULTS: There were no intergroup differences in age, body mass index, tumor size, or bilaterality of tumor. The operative time for the vNOTES group was significantly shorter than that for the LESS group (68.41 ± 20.92 min vs 85.05 ± 32.94 min, p = 0.008). The highest VAS pain score 24 hours postoperatively was 1.21 ± 0.48 in the vNOTES group and 2.43 ± 0.57 in the LESS group (p < 0.001). Twenty-four of the 40 patients in the LESS group experienced teratoma rupture intraoperatively, leading to abdominal contamination by the teratoma content, while 5 abdominal contamination was observed in the vNOTES group ï¼p = 0.005. No significant differences between the two groups were observed in the other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: vNOTES assisted ovarian cystectomy has short operative time, fast recovery, no scarring, less pain, and low rate of abdominal contamination. Consequently, vNOTES might be superior to LESS for treating OMCTs.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe a modified, curved, deep, bidirectional, intra-umbilical, vertical incision for primary trocar insertion and prospectively compare its intraoperative and postoperative outcomes with an infra-umbilical incision in gynaecologic laparoscopy. Methods: Between August 2019 and March 2021, 110 patients subjected to the direct trocar insertion technique for laparoscopic intervention were classified into two groups. Group A comprised 55 cases of infra-umbilical incision, whereas group B comprised 55 cases of a modified, curved, longitudinal, deep, bidirectional, intra-umbilical incision. Afterwards, intraoperative and postoperative assessments were performed. Results: The increase in the numbers of parity, gravidity and previous caesarean sections was found to be statistically significant; a smaller number of infertility complaints were observed in group B. Similarly, group B expressed a statistically significant less peri-trocar CO2 leakage (46 [83.6%] patients versus 28 [50.9%] patients) and more tightness of the primary portal entry (45 [81.8%] patients versus 30 [54.5%] patients) when compared to group A throughout the whole operation. After a one-month follow-up, a statistically significant (P = 0.029) decrease in the Observer Scar Assessment Scale and Patient Scar Assessment Scale scores in group B (10.4 ± 4.2 and 11.8 ± 4.3, respectively), demonstrating better cosmoses when compared to group A (13.3 ± 5.7 and 16.0 ± 6.8, respectively). Conclusion: Performing a modified, curved, deep, bidirectional, intra-umbilical, vertical incision for the insertion of a primary laparoscopic trocar (i.e. Darwish laparoscopic entry) is a simple and fast step that results in the elimination of intraoperative gas leakage and trocar slippage without the need for any additional sutures. Aesthetically, it results in a better scar with satisfactory cosmoses when compared to an infra-umbilical incision.

Umbilical pilonidal sinus is a rare diagnosis which is characterized by an inflammatory granulomatous reaction to hair shafts penetrating the epidermis. It is most often seen in adolescent male with a hairy abdomen. The patients often present with a history of pain and umbilical discharge. Conservative treatment with hair extraction and personal hygiene is prioritized and surgery is only recommended in recurrent cases. Here one such case is presented, which was resistant to conservative treatment and where surgical excision and primary repair was indicated. No recurrence was observed 6 months postoperatively.

Umbilical endometriosis is a rare manifestation, most often isolated, of endometriosis, accounting for 0,5-1 % of all cases. It can be primary or secondary following surgery. It usually presents as a solid, skin-colored, red or purple-black nodule, frequently associated with pain and/or perimenstrual bleeding. Because it has a potential for malignant transformation, the gold standard of treatment is surgical removal.
L'endométriose ombilicale, ou nodule de Villar, est une manifestation rare et le plus souvent isolée d'endométriose, survenant dans 0,5 à 1 % des cas. Elle peut être primaire ou secondaire à une intervention chirurgicale. Elle se manifeste habituellement par un nodule ferme, de couleur chair, rouge ou violet-noir, fréquemment associé à des douleurs et/ou des saignements péri-menstruels. Il existe un risque potentiel de transformation maligne, raison pour laquelle le traitement de première intention est l'exérèse chirurgicale.

BACKGROUND: The ideal umbilical position is midway between the two iliac crests. Some patients complained that the umbilicus position shifted from the midline after the breast reconstruction with a free muscle-sparing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (MS-TRAM) flap. We considered that the fascia of the external oblique muscle could be applied to the rectus abdominis fascia defect. This study aimed to introduce this "fascia turnover procedure" and compare the umbilical position in this procedure with that in primary fascial closure for the MS-TRAM flap of breast reconstruction. METHODS: A total of 152 patients were enrolled (80 patients with fascia turnover (+) vs. 72 patients (-)). The patients' demographics were compared. Horizontal distances (right side: a; left side: b) were measured bilaterally from the lateral abdominal wall to the center of the umbilicus. Frontal abdominal photographs were taken preoperatively (a1, b1) and postoperatively (a2, b2). The rate of umbilical migration (= | (a1 - b1) / (a1 + b1) - (a2 - b2) / (a2 + b2) | × 100%) was calculated. Because the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle is confirmed in front of the lateral side of the anterior rectus sheath, this procedure could be performed in cases with a medial defect. RESULTS: No significant differences in the patients' demographics, including abdominal bulging rates and abdominal wall defect widths were observed between the two groups. The rate of umbilical migration showed a significant difference (median 1.78% vs. 3.70%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This procedure could decrease the rate of umbilical migration.
