[EXPERIENCE OF TREATMENT OF NEWBORN CHILDREN WITH GASTROSCHISIS]
Insights
The Bianchi method significantly improves outcomes for gastroschisis treatment in children. This surgical approach reduces mortality rates and hospital stays, leading to better patient recovery.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Neonatal Care
- Congenital Abnormalities
Context:
- Gastroschisis is a congenital defect requiring surgical intervention.
- Evaluating long-term treatment efficacy is crucial for pediatric surgical outcomes.
- This study analyzes 10-year results for 62 children with gastroschisis.
Purpose:
- To compare the efficacy of the Bianchi method versus other surgical techniques for gastroschisis.
- To assess treatment outcomes including mortality, feeding, and hospital stay duration.
Summary:
- Children were divided into two groups based on surgical treatment: Bianchi method (main group) and conventional methods (comparison group).
- The Bianchi method involved elimination of congenital eventration.
- Conventional methods included siloplasty, Gross operation, alloplasty, and primary radical abdominoplasty.
Impact:
- The Bianchi method demonstrated significant advantages over conventional treatments.
- Key benefits include earlier independent breathing and enteral feeding.
- Reduced hospital stay and a dramatic decrease in lethality from 66.6% to 14.2% were observed.
Abstract:
The article presents an analysis of 10-year treatment results of 62 children with gastroschisis. Children were divided into two groups and it depended on the applied surgical treatment. An elimination of congenital eventration using Bianchi method was performed for children of the main group. The operative methods such as siloplasty, Gross operation, alloplasty and primary radical abdominoplasty were performed for children of comparison group. Comparative assessment of efficacy of the treatment methods of gastroschisis showed, that Bianchi method had a number of advantages: an early transition to independent breath and enteral feeding, shortening of hospital stay, decrease of the rate of lethality from 66.6 to 14.2%.
