Anatomical Prediction for Surgical Positioning of the Umbilicus in a Croatian Population.

Aim: The umbilicus is an essential esthetic landmark on the abdominal wall in women and men. There are only few models published for predicting exact localization of the umbilicus. The aim of our study was to develop a mathematical model for predicting correct umbilical positioning in a sample of young women and men and in a sample of middle-aged women.
