title: [180 cases of umbilical hernia repaired in a new way (author's transl)].
abstract: We describe a new method for the cutaneous repair of umbilical hernias. The cut of the skin makes two flaps suppressing the navel which is generally salient. After the aponevrotic repair which is made by vertical suture with slowly resorbable material, the repair of the two cutaneous flaps builds a new navel which aspect is very close to the natural one. This method has been used once with complete satisfaction, for the repair of an omphalocel.
