Purpose: To suggest a novel technique for omphalocele closure which uses the circular base of the umbilical cord, thus allowing for a more physiological healing process and natural-looking scar.
Methods: Among 16 neonates operated for omphalocele between 2011 and 2016, 12 were closed with a one-stage procedure using a Z omphaloplasty (ZORRO). Median gestational age was 36.
