Topic overview
Giant omphaloceles (GO) are uncommon with no consensus on treatment strategy. Placement of a DuoDerm® silo (DDS) is a novel management technique. We sought to identify optimal approach by comparing outcomes of patients who underwent DDS placement, paint and wait (P&W), operative silo placement (OSP), or alternative compression techniques (ACT).
