Reconstruction of the umbilicus using a single triangular flap.
Abstract
Many techniques for reconstruction of an absent umbilicus have been described; however, none has achieved a perfect result. We report a new alternative for constructing an umbilicus using a conical flap and present two representative clinical cases. Our technique creates an umbilicus with sufficient depth with good results, including maintenance of depth after more than 1 year.
