Use of Cadaveric Skin Graft for Staged Gastroschisis Repair in a Premature Infant.
Abstract Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall defect that, when simple, has excellent overall outcomes. However, morbidity increases with prematurity. A staged approach to closure is often needed until the infant can tolerate definitive repair. We demonstrate the novel use of cadaveric skin allograft as a defect patch, exploiting a tolerant neonatal immune system for long-term durable coverage. A 580-g, 26-week-gestation boy was born with gastroschisis. Primary closure was not possible, necessitating staged closure. After initial silo placement, neither the fascia nor the skin could be closed. Therefore, c...

Extended Spectrum Penicillins Reduce the Risk of Omphalocele: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
Omphalocele is a major congenital anomaly associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Regardless, the influence of maternal use of prescription drugs on the risk of omphalocele has only been addressed in a handful of studies. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of maternal risk factors and prescription drugs in early pregnancy on the risk of omphalocele.

Use of Cryopreserved Human Umbilical Cord and Amniotic Membrane Allograft and Portable Negative Pressure Therapy in Dehisced Giant Omphalocele Repair: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case study to evaluate the effect of cryopreserved human umbilical cord and amniotic membrane allograft in a dehisced neonatal abdominal wound due to a giant omphalocele or, in fact, neonatal wounds in general. Our experience with this case suggests that cryopreserved human umbilical cord and amniotic membrane allograft may create a superior healing trajectory and regeneration, avoidance of surgical intervention, and an early hospital discharge. Wound-supporting properties of amniotic allograft, in addition to lack of immunologic reactivity, offer an attracti...

1056 Can prenatal omphalocele characteristics predict genetic abnormalities?
The objective of this study was to determine if omphalocele ratios or other biometric characteristics can function as predictors of genetic abnormalities.

Is fetal magnetic resonance imaging volumetry of eventrated organs in gastroschisis predictive for surgical treatment?
ConclusionFetal MRI predicted silo bag treatment in patients with gastroschisis in 90% of the cases in our cohort and might facilitate prenatal counseling and treatment planning.

A Novel Surgical Approach for the Management of Cloacal Exstrophy with a Giant Omphalocele
European J Pediatr Surg Rep 2021; 09: e41-e45 DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1728719Cloacal exstrophy is a rare malformation that presents as a lower midline abdominal wall defect which affects the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. The components of cloacal exstrophy characteristically include omphalocele, exstrophy of perineal structures, and imperforate anus. Most of these patients also have renal anomalies such as pelvic kidney, fused kidneys, or solitary kidneys. This congenital condition can also be associated with spinal issues, such as spinal dysraphism. When combined with spinal defects, it is referred to as the omp...

Ductus venosus reversed flow in omphalocele: Could it be a prognostic factor for long-term neurological impairment?
In conclusion, the main issue, in this case, was if the fetal omphalocele and ductus venosus reversed flow indicated fetal hypoxia, what was the obstruction effect on the oxygenated blood pathway caused by the abdominal defect, and which were the long-term effects on infants with this complex pathology with an unknown outcome.PMID:35027978 | PMC:PMC8742901 | DOI:10.25122/jml-2021-0344
