Challenges and lessons learnt in the management of an HIV-exposed neonate with gastroschisis in a resource-limited setting: case report
CONCLUSION: This case of gastroschisis shows how the diagnosis and management of neonates born with major congenital structural abnormalities in resource-limited settings is still desirable due to lack of sophisticated medical care services to assist in early detection during pregnancy and early surgical intervention at birth to prevent associated mortality. The authors discuss the lessons learnt and provide recommendations for improvement in the care of neonates born with abdominal wall defects and other congenital birth defects.PMID:38576955 | PMC:PMC10990413 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001924 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Open abdominal wall defects and open spina bifida at a regional hospital in northern KwaZulu-Natal - bellwether conditions for neonatal surgery capacity
CONCLUSION: Newborns with open SB or AWDs experience marked delays in reaching definitive care. This is more pronounced for cases of SB and was not influenced by the pandemic. Lack of tertiary service capacity (including bed availability, limited staff, and theatre time) is the most important limiting factor.PMID:38568126 (Source: South African Journal of Surgery)
