  • Title: Anuria following reduction of a giant omphalocoele in a neonate: an unusual complication.
    Author: Meade PG, Rudolph C, Huang YC.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1991 Nov; 156(11):629-30. PubMed ID: 1771013.
    Abstract:
    Giant omphalocoele in the neonate is a challenging surgical emergency and requires individualized approaches to operative repair. Post-operative complications and associated congenital anomalies still continue to exert a high morbidity and mortality in spite of intensive and improved post-operative care. This case report describes an unusual mechanism which produced anuria in a neonate immediately after operative reduction of a giant omphalocoele. In retrospect, this complication was related to the unique anatomy of the neonate and the type of closure utilized.
