Exomphalos anomaly is defined as the herniation of abdominal viscera into the base of the umbilical cord, with only a membranous sac covering these contents. It has an incidence of approximately 1 in 4000-6000 births. Management of exomphalos major (EM) remains controversial and limited, with very few studies to guide decision-making.
