Various umbilical fistula

The umbilical cord is the lifeline of the fetus, the oxygen and nutrients from maternal continue to be, and itself to produce carbon dioxide and waste discharge, as well as fetal development itself needs, we must rely on specially constructed of cord. Umbilical vein in the umbilical cord and umbilical artery (and fetal blood vessels connect is important to note, umbilical venous flow is the mother\'s blood, and umbilical artery flow is venous blood), yolk tube, urachus structure. During fetal development and the structure broken after the umbilical cord or occlusion, or fibrosis, or disappear, if development of the abnormal congenital deformity or disease appears.

Some baby umbilical cord shedding Hou since navel Center has yellow green water or stool sample property discharge, even like fart as has gas discharge, check Shi found navel Center has a fistula hole, around has wet color slightly red of Mucosa, this is yolk tube fistula, and said \' umbilical intestinal fistula \' or \' umbilical fistula \', is yolk tube full is not closed (normal situation Xia, fetal from 6th week yolk tube began gradually degradation occlusion) of residues pipeline. Because the yolk tube and the baby is attached to the small intestine, so out of stool samples. Fortunately this disease in the clinical and far between.

Some baby\'s umbilical cord falls off the navel is always wet, attentive mother also finds a wash in a pen or basket share urine secretion, check finds a fistula holes below the center of the navel, outflow of urine liquid by hole, this is the urachal fistula. Closure of the fetal urachal Fistula is not residual pipeline, because it communicates with baby\'s bladder, so will inevitably be spillover in the urine, especially when baby following urinary tract obstruction of the bladder, overflow of urine is more. The disease is clinically than vitelline fistula are rare.

There is also a rare umbilical fistula called umbilical ring of fistula, in most cases due to intraperitoneal fluid (also called ascites) too much (including Chylous) caused ascites--umbilical ring from the weakness of the abdominal wall leaking of parts of breaking through the abdominal wall skin, like the child urinated outflow in severe cases.

More than three cases require surgical treatment, umbilical fistula disease conditions are more urgent, Central, start with bio-adhesive or special tape adhesive repair fistula, temporarily blocking the spills and reducing abdominal ascites due to a large number of secondary infection, and treatment of primary diseases when necessary surgery to mend orificium fistulae. If the other two fistula disease does not affect the normal development of children, you can schedule in children 6 months to about 1 operation, the effect is quite satisfactory.
