- Abstract
The article discusses a study which described a laparotomy approach using a circumbilical incision with umbilicoplasty. Details of the surgical procedure are provided, as well as the diagnostic laparoscopy performed. Also discussed are the advantages and disadvantages of a laparoscopic approach over traditional laparotomy and the benefits of transumbilical laparotomy when combined with a midline incision and umbilicoplasty.
