Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Omphalocele is a congenital malformation of the abdominal wall, which occurs with a frequency of 1-5,000 newborns. The prognosis of treatment often depends on the presence of concomitant malformations. The most common contents of the hernia with omphalocele are the intestinal loops, liver, spleen. However, all organs of the abdominal cavity can be part of the hernial sac with large sizes of omphalocele. Teratoma is a germ cell tumor made up of several different types of tissue, such as hair, muscle, teeth, or bone. They are a type of germ cell tumor and divided into two types: mature and immature. In this article, we describe a rare case of a combination of an omphalocele with a mature teratoma and report the successful single step surgical treatment. On the first day after birth, a simultaneous operation-Removal of teratoma with abdominoplasty was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the child was discharged for recovery.
