Giant umbilical hernia: “Lazy M-Omega” flap, a case report

description Umbilical hernia, one of the most frequent pathologies in pediatric surgical practice, is usually corrected with a relatively simple intervention, except in cases where there is a major defect, also called proboscoid hernia.

This technique has to be taken into account in surgical planning, since it is simple and easily reproducible.
