Abstract
Introduction: An omphalocele is a midline wall defect abdominal which can be variable in size; however, the giants have been a challenge for pediatric surgeons in its initial treatment.

Results: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is superior in the shorter time of mechanical ventilation and decreased late complications with a value of p= 0.014 and a value of p=0.012 respectively; not so with regard to the start of the enteral route, stay hospital and mortality, where there was no statistical significance at be compared between the 3 study groups. Conclusion: The data collected in the present study, they consider that it is very positive to have the option of Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for the initial treatment of omphalocele; It is important to note that it is a safe alternative in the handling of large defects.
