ANALYSIS OF THE SURGICAL METHOD OF TREATING OMPHALOCELE IN CHILDREN

Omphalocele, a congenital abdominal defect, requires surgical intervention tailored to the defect’s size and the patient’s condition. Small omphaloceles are typically treated with primary repair, while larger ones may use the silo technique or staged repair. The silo technique involves gradually reducing the herniated organs, whereas staged repair uses mesh to expand the abdominal cavity before closure. Each method has distinct advantages and limitations, with careful consideration needed for postoperative care and long-term outcomes.
