The surgical management of the abdominal wall defect has generated much discussion among paediatric surgeons. Attitudes range from primary closure whenever possible to serial closure with prosthetic material because of the hazards of tight primary closure. During the study period between Jan 2012 to June 2015, five patients of gastroschisis presented in institute (n=5). Out of five, four were inborn undergone primary repair within one hour of birth. Repair of one out born neonate was done 24hr. after birth because of late presentation. Infants undergoing primary closure were more quickly established on full enteral feeding and discharged home significantly earlier than those either treated by primary closure under anaesthesia or by staged repair.
