“…This patient was not an exception, her intraabdominal pressure remained low as it was demonstrated by a low airway pressure during the operative time and her extubation at the end of the operation. Though the acquired knowledge of left-sided gastroschisis is considerable, its aetiology remains obscure and pathogenesis controversial as there are no answers for its incidence [28][29][30][31][32]. The economic burden of gastroschisis on countries with high natality rates is conspicuous and the measures to prevent it concealed [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Gastroschisis, a congenital periumbilical abdominal wall defect/malformation, allows intrauterine herniation of intestines at the right side of the umbilical cord. Its pathogenesis is still blurred as no tenable explanations or specific causes are found that can elucidate its increasing incidence presently in place among teenager and very young pregnant women. Left-gastroschisis is a rare variant of the commoner right-sided gastroschisis. It is sporadic in its prevalence and has as well an etiology unknown. When left-sided gastroschisis is present, one should be aware that an increased number of associated extra-intestinal abnormalities are likely. Our case has HIV exposure as a potential factor that could have had a role in the ontogenesis of the defect.

“…Gastroschisis is a well recognized congenital defect of the ventral abdominal wall that is usually to the right side of the umbilical cord insertion, although a few cases with left-sided gastroschisis have been recorded 1,2 . The past decades have witnessed an increasing incidence of this condition, which at present is about 5 per 10 000 births 3,4 .…”

Review of the evidence on the closure of abdominal wall defects

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Infants with congenital abdominal wall defects pose an interesting and challenging management issue for surgeons. We attempt to review the literature to define the current treatment modalities and their application in practice. In gastroschisis, the overall strategies for repair include immediate closure or delayed operative repair. The best level of data for gastroschisis is grade C and appears to support that there is no major difference in survival between immediate closure or delayed repair. In patients with omphalocele, the management techniques are more varied consisting of immediate closure, staged closure or delayed closure after epithelialization. The literature is less clear on when to use one technique over the other, consisting of mostly grade D and E data. In patients with omphalocele, a registry to collect information on patients with larger defects may help determine which of the management strategies is optimal.
