Health & Wellness > Children's This is a webring for Parents, Grandparents, siblings and friends of children born with an Omphalocele, a birth defect in which bowel, liver, and possibly other organs form outside of the abdomen in a sac due to a defect in the muscle of the abdominal wall. Gastroschisis is a similar birth defect, but the sac is not present. Sites related to gastroschisis are also welcomed. Do please join us and invite others, but only if your site is related to the topic. The more links - the more traffic - the more useful and effective this ring is likely to become. (No porn or 'hate' sites please). Lionel Hartley, PhD - Ring Manager
