A Computed Tomographic Study of Umbilical Anatomy: The Relationship between Umbilical Thickness and Diameter

Laparoscopic surgeries were first introduced in the 1980s. More recently, similar techniques such as natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and other advanced transumbilical surgeries have been developed. With all of these surgical advances, basic information about the umbilicus is lacking....
