“…19,20 In the majority of cases, a horizontal skin fold is seen in the upper part of the umbilicus creating a small superior hood. 18,21 Almost all reconstructed umbilici come along with a horizontal or a vertical scar on the skin of the abdominal wall. This is necessary to decrease the amount of skin around the exterior circumference of the umbilicus in order to obtain sufficient depth of the umbilicus.…”

SummaryThis article describes a new technique for reconstruction of the umbilicus. The technique used simply originated from a few clinical cases in which we were confronted with an absent or destroyed umbilicus. Previously described techniques for neo-umbilicoplasty were unsatisfying or seemed too complex in our hands. We introduce this easy, safe and reproducible technique which in our experience resulted in a very acceptable newly formed umbilicus.

“…Estudos recentes têm demonstrado que mulheres jovens e magras com abdomes atraentes tendem a ter umbigos pequenos e orientados verticalmente [1][2][3] (Figura 1). Variações expressivas do volume abdominal, de origem ponderal ou por gravidez, podem levar à flacidez, ao acúmulo de excesso cutâneo, cobrindo parcialmente o umbigo, e à diástase dos músculos reto abdominais, frequentemente acompanhada de hérnias, resultando em um umbigo alargado, raso e com o fundo plano ou abaulado (Figura 2).…”

Objetivo: Os autores apresentam uma técnica de tratamento estético e funcional do umbigo, e avaliam a sua eficácia e, principalmente, a sua segurança. Método: A técnica consiste na abordagem do umbigo com uma sutura em "U", transumbilical, que aproxima a aponeurose, fecha o anel umbilical e aprofunda a sua base. O estudo é retrospectivo do período de um ano, com 30 pacientes de sexo feminino, com idade entre 26 e 59 anos, com média de 42,1 anos, todas submetidas à abdominoplastia, exceto uma na qual foi corrigido isoladamente o umbigo inestético. Resultados: Todas as pacientes ficaram satisfeitas com o tamanho e o formato estético do umbigo, não houve recidiva da diástase da aponeurose nem da hérnia umbilical, não houve complicações isquêmicas, nem de contraturas cicatriciais. Conclusão: A técnica é simples, eficaz no tratamento funcional e estético, e a sutura transumbilical provou ser segura, sem complicações isquêmicas.Descritores: Umbigo. Abdome/cirurgia.

ABSTRACT Introduction:The umbilicus is essential for the aesthetic appearance of the abdomen, the vertical, long and deep shape is desired by the patients, however, in traditional aesthetic abdominal surgery, the rectus sheath around umbilicus is not plicated, the ring of umbilicus is not reduced, staying a gap of weakness, and the navel is widened and flat. Objective: The authors present a technique for aesthetic and functional repair of umbilicus, its efficacy and specially the safety, are analyzed. Methods: The technique consists in approach the umbilicus with a "U' shape suture across the umbilicus, plicating the rectus sheath, reducing the ring of the umbilicus, and deepening its base. It's made a retrospective study of 30 female patients, with the age between 26 and 59 years, media of 42.1 years, in the period of one year, all of them were submitted a abdominoplasty, except one which is made treatment of isolated diastasis and hernia. Results: All the patients were satisfied about the size and the shape of the umbilicus, there is no recurrence of diastasis or hernias, no ischemic complications was presented, nor scars contractions. Conclusions: The technique is simple, efficient with good functional and aesthetic results, and overall safe, without ischemic complications. Keywords:Umbilicus. Abdomen/surgery.
