Omphalocele/Gastroschisis Repair
View through CrossRef
Congenital abdominal wall defects (AWD) comprise gastroschisis and omphalocele (exomphalos). Nearly all AWDs require urgent intervention within a few hours of birth. The current incidence of omphalocele (3 per 10,000) and gastroschisis (4–5 per 10,000) has been increasing over the past few decades; however, improved management of these congenital defects has resulted in a fall in mortality to less than 5%. The anesthetic management of both conditions is essentially the same.
