# Ruptured giant omphalocele with congenital short small intestine: a case report

## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare medical condition involving a ruptured giant omphalocele and a short small intestine, and the treatment approach used.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel treatment strategy using vacuum-sealing drainage and carboxymethylcellulose silver dressing for managing ruptured giant omphaloceles.

## Key findings

- Vacuum-sealing drainage and carboxymethylcellulose silver dressing promoted wound healing after repair.
- The treatment avoided abdominal compartment syndrome and reduced the need for multiple procedures.

## Abstract

We herein present a case of a ruptured giant omphalocele with congenital short small intestine. Vacuum-sealing drainage and carboxymethylcellulose silver dressing promoted wound healing after repair, avoided abdominal compartment syndrome, and reduced the risks of multiple procedures. We review the perioperative management of omphaloceles in congenital short small intestines.
