Abstract

This paper describes a transumbilical resection and umbilical plasty for treatment of a patent omphalomesenteric duct (POMD). In a newborn infant with a POMD, a skin incision was made circumscribing the mucocutaneous junction of the protruded duct. The duct was completely extirpated with a wedge resection of the connection to the intestine and an umbilical plasty was performed. The postoperative appearance was excellent. It appears that transumbilical resection and umbilical plasty may be a satisfactory operation for POMD.
