    Abstract:
    The goal of the reconstruction for umbilical absence is to obtain a natural three-dimensional appearance of the umbilicus with minimal operative scarring. This paper presents two cases of umbilical reconstruction using a reverse fan-shaped flap. In both cases, the umbilicus was lost during surgical procedures on the abdominal wall when the patients were newborns. We performed this technique in both cases. This technique is simple and safe. With this technique, a permanent umbilical depth and ring can be obtained without any complications.
