My baby has a large omphalocele. There is also a third option called "paint and wait" where they just wrap the omphalocele and dress it with anti-biotic ointment for a few months and then once the abdominal cavity has grown a little bigger you wrap the whole abdomen with an ace bandage, which will slowly over the course of about 3 months push the organs back inside, and then you only have one surgery, and the lungs are not compressed. It's much less traumatic and I'm considering it for my baby.
