umbilicus rupestris/hemorrhage

We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with a persistent omphalomesenteric duct. The diagnosis was verified by histology. Further differential diagnoses of bleeding umbilicus are the urachal fistula and endometriosis.

A 33-year-old woman complained of a tumor in her umbilicus with bleeding during her menstrual periods. The diagnosis was made after surgical excision of the tumour: endometriosis of the umbilicus, also known as 'Villar's node'.

The report of case in which bleeding from the anterior abdominal wall vessels occurred after the trocar insertion through the umbilicus. Directly after trocar removing there was insignificant bleeding from the trocar incision. Despite initial hemostasis with a suture ligation a postoperative blood

BACKGROUND Recent reports on laparoscopic surgery for urachal anomalies have not described any techniques to restore the natural appearance of the umbilicus. In this report, we present a simple technique that enables complete resection of urachal anomalies while preserving the natural appearance of

There is an ever-growing trend towards less-invasive procedures in all fields of medicine. We designed an animal study to prove the concept that trans-apical aortic valve replacement from an incision within the umbilicus through a single channel for instruments is feasible, which would be a major

The traditional surgical approach for removing a symptomatic urachal remnant is via a lower midline laparotomy and infraumbilical incision or a laparoscopic approach with umbilicoplasty. We reviewed our experience with umbilicus-sparing laparoscopic urachal remnant excision in a single-center study

Umbilical endometriosis is rare, representing only 0.5-1% of all cases of extragenital endometriosis. In infertile women, endometriosis may be as prevalent as 50%. Numerous differential diagnoses are present, hence the clinical diagnosis of umbilical tumours is intricate. In a 33-year-old woman, an

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition and presents mainly with involvement of the pelvic organs. Extrapelvic presentations in almost all parts of the body have been reported in the literature. However, umbilical endometriosis that is spontaneous or secondary to surgery is

A 39-year-old woman with a history of prolonged and excessive vaginal bleeding and bleeding from the umbilicus was found to have umbilical endometriosis. The umbilicus was excised following hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Umbilical endometriosis should be considered in the

Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare condition, especially in patients without a history of abdominal or pelvic surgery or known preexisting endometriosis. Most cases present with cyclic pain and bleeding at the site of an umbilical cutaneous nodule correlating with menses. We present an atypical case

Omphalomesenteric duct derivatives cause an assortment of complications, most notably intestinal hemorrhage and obstruction. Intestinal obstruction is the most lethal complication and usually results from a diverticulum with an attachment to the umbilicus. This cause of intestinal obstruction is not

Transumbilical laparoscopy was performed on 217 patients for diagnostic purposes. The center of the umbilicus was chosen as the entry site for both the Veress needle and the trocar. Two years of follow-up on 92 patients, including 29 who carried full-term pregnancies, did not reveal any damage to
