[Umbilical hernia and appendectomy].
Results of 334 appendectomies carried out through the umbilical orifice are reviewed. Failures of treatment and complications of the method are reported while emphasizing that only 4 major complications occurred. When compared with the classical incision of right iliac fossa this procedure does not appear to provoke more risks and presents obvious esthetic advantages.
