Background: The ideal technique for reconstruction of proboscoid umbilical hernia in children is the subject of ongoing researches. The aim of this study is to describe our umbilicoplasty technique in the surgical repair of proboscoid umbilical hernia and report its results.
Methods: The study included 21 children presented with a proboscoid umbilical hernia from 2014 to 2018. All patients had umbilicoplasty by the following technique: skin incisions were marked then a circular incision was made starting near the umbilical scar. We repaired the fascial defects then excised the lateral twin isosceles triangular flaps. A new umbilical depression was created by subcutaneous sutures fixing the center of the umbilical scar to the aponeurosis. We evaluated the results of surgery as excellent, fair or bad based on the criteria of the peripheral rim (raised, flattened or depressed); in addition to the central depression (deep, shallow or absent).
Results: The study included 12 boys (57%) and the age ranged from 19 to 67 months. The mean duration of the procedure was 45 min and the mean hospital stay was 1 day. All patients had excellent early results and after 12 months follow-up, the umbilicus was naturally looking and had an excellent peripheral rim and a central depression.
Conclusion: The described umbilicoplasty technique in the surgical repair of proboscoid umbilical hernia in children is simple and easy with excellent aesthetic results.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of Trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic complete extraperitoneal closure (LCEC) and laparoscopic intracorporeal closure (LIC) for inguinal hernia by analysis of follow-up data over 5 years.
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 524 children with inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to undergo LCEC or LIC between August 2016 and December 2017. The primary outcome measures were the success and recurrence rates.
Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism syndrome: open spigelian hernia repair and laparoscopic one-stage orchiopexy for ectopic testis.

Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism syndrome in children is increasingly reported in the literature. A variety of phenotypes have been reported, so diagnostic approaches and operative techniques remain poorly defined. The case of an infant male who presented with a left spigelian hernia and ipsilateral cryptorchidism who was initially misdiagnosed with an ectopic inguinal testis is presented.

Introduction: The last decade has witnessed several modifications in the laparoscopic techniques for ventral hernia. The aim of this study was to compare an established repair such as laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with defect closure (IPOM plus) with subcutaneous onlay endoscopic approach (SCOLA) for medium ventral hernia.
Patients And Methods: From June 2019 to November 2021, 29 patients undergoing IPOM plus and 22 patients undergoing SCOLA for medium ventral hernia (umbilical and epigastric hernia of size 2-4 cm) were included in the study.
Does lifting female piglets by one hind leg increase the risk of umbilical and hind leg lesions?

Background: Umbilical lesions in pigs have a negative impact on animal welfare and productivity. It has been suggested that lifting young piglets by one hind leg may be a risk factor for developing omphalitis and umbilical hernia. However, the hypothesis that lifting piglets by one hind leg should stretch the umbilical wall and impede the healing of the umbilicus has not yet been investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal analysis using CMA, MS-MLPA, and trio-WES was conducted on a female fetus with omphalocele, identifying a new 300-kb deletion in the Xq13.1 region affecting the MED12 gene.
- An ultrasound at 18 weeks showed features indicative of Hardikar syndrome, such as cleft lip and palate, diaphragmatic hernia, and heart displacement.
- The findings suggest that the deletion of the MED12 gene may play a critical role in the development of Hardikar syndrome, highlighting the potential impact of haploinsufficiency of this gene.
