umbilically um·bil'i·cal·ly adv.

Pertaining to the umbilicus.

• u. abscess — see urachal abscess.
• u. clamp — used in calves and foals for the closed method of herniorrhaphy. Consists of two lightweight bars that can be screwed together very tightly. The herniated gut is evacuated from the hernia and the clamp applied to as much of the hernial pouch as can be included. The tissue beyond the clamp sloughs and the clamp can be removed.
• u. cord — see umbilical cord.
• u. cord infection — see omphalitis.
• u. diverticulum — an evagination of the bowel wall at the vestigial point of attachment of the yolk sac. Called also Meckel's diverticulum.
• u. gas gangrene — umbilicus infected with Clostridium septicum, C. oedematiens.
• u. hemorrhage — a specific syndrome in newborn piglets. Bleeding from fleshy navel, also from ear notching, causes fatal anemia. The cause is unknown.
• u. hernia — protrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall at the umbilicus, the defect in the abdominal wall and protruding intestine being covered with skin and subcutaneous tissue. Occurs sporadically in all species and inherited in cattle and some breeds of dogs. Soft swelling at umbilicus is reducible into the abdomen through a palpable ring. May accompany omphalitis.

• u. hernia strangulation — the intestinal loop in the hernia becomes incarcerated with its lumen occluded and its blood supply compromised.
• u. inflammation — see omphalitis.
• u. occlusion — as when the umbilical cord is trapped between the fetus and the wall of the birth canal, causing loss of the fetal blood supply.
• u. sinus — created by persistence of only the distal end of the intraembryonic allantoic stalk at the umbilicus.
• u. tape — cotton tape, about 0.5 inch, with two selvedge edges. Used to tie off an umbilicus in calves and foals.
• u. vein — one of a pair of veins which return oxygenated blood from the placenta through the umbilical cord to the ductus venosus and thence to the heart.
• u. vein infection — see omphalophlebitis.
• u. vein abscess — residual after subsidence of acute omphalophlebitis.
