Complex gastroschisis: a new indication for fetal surgery?

Abstract: Gastroschisis (GS) is a congenital abdominal wall defect, in which the bowel eviscerates from the abdominal cavity. It is a non‐lethal isolated anomaly and its pathogenesis is hypothesized to occur as a result of two hits: primary rupture of the ‘physiological’ umbilical hernia (congenital anomaly) followed by progressive damage of the eviscerated bowel (secondary injury). The second hit is thought to be caused by a combination of mesenteric ischemia from constriction in the abdominal wall defect and prolonged… Show more

“…Though potential predictive factors of complex gastroschisis have been identified with the use of prenatal imaging, refinement of prenatal evaluation of complex gastroschisis is still needed [ 32 , 37 ]. Furthermore, fetal surgery has also been more recently proposed, though further data and investigation is needed regarding this innovative intervention [ 38 , 39 ].…”

“…Finally, complex tissue engineering tissues such as fetal skin biodegradable collagen scaffolds can be used to treat full-thickness fetal skin defects 70 , and facilitate skin closure in fetuses undergoing prenatal repair in small and large animal models. The latter may become useful to treat other prenatal defects such as gastroschisis which could be treated before birth 71 .…”

“…Gastroschisis is a congenital defect in which the bowel eviscerates through the paraumbilical ventral abdominal wall and is exposed to amniotic fluid 1,2 . The prevalence of gastroschisis has increased over time for reasons that are not well understood, with a 105%–137% change between 2005 and 2018 3,4 .…”
