As moms came in and out of the waiting room, elated by the first grainy images of their growing babies, Davis was anxious as she waited for the results. Finally, doctors told her the news: Baby Hayes' organs were developing on the outside of his body. The condition, known as an omphalocele, is a birth defect in which the fetus' intestines and other abdominal organs stick out from the belly button. Once we heard the word, 'omphalocele,' it was our world, said Davis, 29, of Texas. A thin membrane that keeps the organs in tact usually covers the omphalocele. While the condition can range in size and severity, the intestines, and sometimes the liver and spleen, protrude outside the baby's body.
According to Roy, the most common belief is that human livers can regenerate, which is not completely true. He says that it's actually called compensatory hyperplasia, and the cells simply grow to accommodate the decrease in function. When you cut part of the liver out, that part doesn't grow back. What got left behind will simply grow. You can tell the pieces apart, unlike the regeneration of the axolotl.. However, he noted, the liver is still an amazing organ in which as small as 25 per cent can heal into a healthy and complete liver.
