Herniorrhaphy in two newborn lambs with omphalocele

Background: Omphalocele is an uncommon congenital defect in the ventral abdominal wall. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not certainly approved despite the numerous theories. Cases Description: Two newborn lambs with protruded membranous sacs from the umbilical region were presented. The herniated...

Its etiology and pathogenesis are not certainly approved despite the numerous theories. Cases Description: Two newborn lambs with protruded membranous sacs from the umbilical region were presented. The herniated sac in both lambs contained loops of intestines and was covered by a thin membrane sac. The second lamb's sac was disrupted, and its contents were severely congested.

Its prognosis is good unless the herniated sac is badly manipulated and its contents are proportionately large in size and highly congested. Jalal M. AbdelhadiAiman H.
