Gastroschisis (pronounced gas-troh-skee-sis) is a birth defect where a hole in the belly of the baby - the abdominal wall - allows the intestines to move outside the baby's belly. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
After birth, the baby will begin to lose water and body temperature from the intestines, so the gastroschisis birth defect is treated within hours or days after the baby is born. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
If the hole in the belly is small and the intestines are not too swollen to fit, a pediatric general surgeon will operate and place the organs back inside the abdomen and repair the hole within a few hours. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
Babies with gastroschisis often need additional care after the repair because of damage to the intestines caused by the amniotic fluids. (hopkinsmedicine.org)

The trial, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on October 12, 2022, will evaluate the safety and feasibility of fetal repair of complex gastroschisis using a fetoscopic surgical approach. (rarediseaseadvisor.com)
Investigators will assess maternal, fetal, neonatal, and infant outcomes in 10 participants to see whether in utero repair of gastroschisis can reduce postnatal mortality and morbidity. (rarediseaseadvisor.com)
Participants with significant fetal anomaly unrelated to gastroschisis, evidence of bowel perforation, a prepregnancy body mass index of 40 or more, and those who do not have a support person that is available for the duration of the study are not eligible to take part in the trial. (rarediseaseadvisor.com)
Because gastroschisis is related to increased threat of intrauterine fetal demise within the third trimester, our Center routinely displays moms beyond 30 to 32 weeks' gestation with twice-weekly sonograms, biophysical profiles and non-stress testing, maintaining a detailed watch for indicators of fetal misery, oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios, generally signaling an intestinal atresia.
