  • Title: Giant exomphalos--conservative or operative treatment?
    Author: Gough DC, Auldist AW.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1979 Jun; 54(6):441-4. PubMed ID: 89835.
    Abstract:
    The rate of survival for infants with intact giant exomphatos has much improved during the last 20 years; this is partly due to better respiratory and nutritional support. The use of a staged operative closure using a sialon prosthesis has been advocated for 12 years, but our data do not show this to be superior to nonoperative management.
