Abstract

The authors describe an approach to neo-umbilicoplasty for patients with vertical midline scars or submitted to extensive tegumental resections after bariatric surgery. Two lateral pedicle flaps sutured to each other are used to shape a cutaneous wall tube in which the inverted end is anchored to the aponeurotic plane. A navel cavity of adequate scoop is shaped with no surrounding scar, in addition to relieving the strain along the vertical scar, which will be less prone to hypertrophy and will have a better cosmetic appearance.
