Background: Although primary closure of the gastroschisis is possible in many cases, there have been various strategies published and materials used to cover the eviscerated bowel when the abdominal wall defect cannot be closed in one step, providing bowel protection and reduction of heat and fluid loss. There have been suggestions of coverage materials such as skin graft, lyophilized dura mater graft, free flap corium and meshed skin graft (1,2).
Purpose: We highlight an alternative repair method of gastroschisis in those cases where there is a disproportion between the amount of eviscerated organs and the hypoplastic abdominal cavity.
