Gastroschisis most often occurs as an isolated anomaly and extragastrointestinal associations are rare. Most commonly, the anomalies associated with gastroschisis are cardiac and central nervous system abnormalities. Respiratory insufficiency has sometimes been reported in association with giant abdominal wall defects. Poor outcomes and prolonged ventilator support have been reported in giant gastroschisis and omphalocele, especially if associated with herniation of the majority of the liver. We report a case of a large gastroschisis that was associated with a kyphoscoliosis and pulmonary hypoplasia.

Use of a new vertical traction device for early traction-assisted staged closure of congenital abdominal wall defects: a prospective series of 16 patients.

Purpose: Abdominal wall closure in patients with giant omphalocele (GOC) and complicated gastroschisis (GS) remains to be a surgical challenge. To facilitate an early complete abdominal wall closure, we investigated the combination of a staged closure technique with continuous traction to the abdominal wall using a newly designed vertical traction device for newborns.
Methods: Four tertiary pediatric surgery departments participated in the study between 04/2022 and 11/2023.

Congenital abdominal wall abnormalities in infants present an interesting and difficult management problem for surgeons. Congenital malformations of the ventral abdominal wall can be diagnosed by their distinctive anatomical presentations. Among them, omphalocele, gastroschisis and umbilical cord hernias are the most frequently observed clinically detected abdominal wall anomalies.

Congenital malformations are defined as single or multiple defects of the morphogenesis of organs or body parts, identifiable during intrauterine life or at birth. With recent advances in prenatal detection of congenital malformations, many of these disorders can be identified early on a routine fetal ultrasound. The aim of the present systematic review is to systematize the current knowledge about the mode of delivery in pregnancies complicated by fetal anomalies.

Background: Congenital anomalies are responsible for approximately 20% of all neonatal deaths worldwide. Improvements in antenatal screening and diagnosis have significantly improved the prenatal detection of birth defects; however, these improvements have not translated into the improved neonatal prognosis of babies born with congenital anomalies.
Objectives: An attempt has been made to summarise the prenatal interventions, if available, the optimal route, mode and time of delivery and discuss the minimum delivery room preparations that should be made if expecting to deliver a fetus with a congenital anomaly.
Gastroschisis in one twin neonate with extracorporeal liver.

We report a rare case of gastroschisis with extracorporeal liver suspected on late first trimester ultrasound and confirmed with second trimester ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in one fetus in a twin pregnancy. Liver herniation is common in omphalocele, a membrane-covered abdominal wall defect associated with other congenital anomalies. However, it is highly uncommon in gastroschisis, an uncovered abdominal wall defect aside of the cord insertion.
