The authors describe a technique for the management of giant omphalocele in which the sac is not resected, but used to sequentially reduce the contents into the abdominal cavity. Three patients were treated in this fashion. Delayed primary fascial closure was achieved in two. The third patient did not have complete reduction after 3 weeks, and temporary placement of a silastic sheet was required. The sac remained intact in all three cases, and neither infection nor injury to the abdominal contents occurred. This technique has the advantages of maintaining an intact membrane and avoiding the initial operative placement of a prosthetic silo in these sometimes critically ill neonates.
