Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates effective umbilical reconstruction in adults, suggesting a reliable method for cosmetic outcomes.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Modified Kajikawa Method for umbilical reconstruction after laparoscopic urachal resection.
  • Three female patients aged 31, 34, and 45 underwent umbilical reconstruction after laparoscopic urachal resection in 2024.
  • Preoperative CT scans assessed periumbilical subcutaneous fat thickness (14-24 mm).
  • Reconstruction utilized the Modified Kajikawa Method 1 with caudal Z-plasty or cruciate suturing for flap stabilization.
  • At follow-up (12-16 months), all patients maintained a stable umbilical morphology with heights of 11-13 mm.
  • No complications such as flap necrosis were observed.
  • The technique resulted in good contour despite leaving long vertical scars.
