Area of Science:

Pediatric Surgery
Neonatal Care
Abdominal Wall Defects

Background:

Gastroschisis repair often requires management of large abdominal wall defects.
Previous methods for covering eviscerated bowel include skin grafts and dura mater grafts.
Primary closure can lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure if the abdominal cavity is hypoplastic.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an alternative repair method for gastroschisis in cases with disproportionate organ evisceration and a small abdominal cavity.
To address the challenge of increased intra-abdominal pressure associated with primary closure in such scenarios.

Main Methods:

An alternative repair method utilizing an umbilical cord patch was employed for parietal defects when primary closure was not possible.

The umbilical cord patch creates a mesothelial surface in direct contact with the eviscerated bowel.

Main Results:

The umbilical cord patch technique demonstrated excellent long-term results in patients.
This method facilitates the creation of a biologically compatible surface for bowel contact.

Conclusions:

The umbilical cord patch is an easy-to-apply and effective technique for gastroschisis repair, particularly when primary closure is not achievable.
Using autologous umbilical cord offers advantages such as availability, reduced infection rates, and lower costs.
