Primary defect closure is the surgical treatment of choice in gastroschisis. When this is not feasible, a silo is required to progressively reduce the organs and perform a deferred closure of the wall.We present the case of a newborn with gastroschisis that required the use of a silo. Once the silo had been created, the distance between borders did not allow the defect to be closed, so decision was made to conduct releasing aponeurotic incisions for mobilization purposes.Progression was uneventful, and enteral nutrition was initiated at 24 days of life. Total enteral total nutrition was achieved at 40 days of life. He received parenteral nutrition for 36 days. He was discharged at 59 days of life.Abdominal wall treatment through releasing incisions allows prostheses to be avoided and represents an alternative for these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
