Omphalocele
Omphalocele is a congenital defect of the abdominal wall in which some of the baby's abdominal organs develop outside the body, covered by a membrane, at the level of the navel.
Which specialist treats it? It is usually detected during pregnancy follow-up by the gynecologist, and after birth it is treated by the neonatologist and the pediatric surgeon, with support from the pediatrician.
Context: It is a condition that is often identified through routine prenatal studies, which makes it possible to prepare the newborn's care in advance.
When to seek guidance? If the possibility of this diagnosis is mentioned during pregnancy, it is valuable to discuss it with a specialized team. Careful planning before and after delivery helps provide the best care for the baby and peace of mind for the family.
