Abstract

A successful umbilical reconstruction is described, using two twisted flaps with one pedicle. This technique is easy and simultaneously revises the scar of the abdominal wall. With this procedure, the umbilicus has a natural appearance with sufficient depression and normal-appearing wrinkles.
