difference in umblical hernia and omphalocele?

  #2

thats bit confusing to me. i just know omphalocele is emergency need to do immediate surgery.. omphalocele has sac which contains peritoneal covering comes out with intestines along the umblical cord.. it seems midline defect.

umblical hernia.. --- herniation thru umblical ring. it can be left it as it is.it will recover with time. surgery if needed after 5years.
