Low Cost Gastroschisis Silo for Sub-Saharan Africa: Testing in a Porcine Model
ConclusionLC silos designed for manufacturing and clinical use in SSA demonstrated similar ease of use, absence of tissue injury, and acceptable microbiology profile, similar to SOC silos. The findings will allow our team to proceed with a pilot study in Uganda. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Factors influencing enteral autonomy after autologous gastrointestinal reconstructive surgery: A two-centre UK perspective
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure (IF) in children. Common causes include necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), midgut volvulus, intestinal atresias, closed or closing gastroschisis and total aganglionosis [1]. Longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring (LILT) surgery was first proposed by Bianchi in 1980 [2] and has now been in clinical practice for over 40 years with the addition of the serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) procedure increasing surgical options [3 –5].

Elective Delivery versus Expectant Management for Gastroschisis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion Based on the data analyzed, near-term elective delivery (GA 36–37 weeks) appears to be the optimal timing for delivery of pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis as it is associated with less bowel morbidity and shorter TPN days. However, more RCTs are necessary to better validate these findings.

Elective delivery versus expectant management for gastroschisis: a systemic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: Based on the data analysed, near-term elective delivery (GA 36-37 weeks) appears to be the optimal timing for delivery of pregnancies complicated by foetal gastroschisis as it is associated with less bowel morbidity and shorter TPN days. However, more RCTs are necessary to better validate these findings.   [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents  |  Abstract (Source: European Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Epub 2022 Sep 13.ABSTRACTCongenital abdominal wall defects vary from abdominal wall hernias to severe congenital structural anomalies that include gastroschisis, omphalocele, and prune belly syndrome. The conditions often carry various associated anomalies and require multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Complex surgical reconstructive techniques are frequently required and prenatal, perioperative, and long-term follow-up is critical to ensuring the best possible outcomes.PMID:36209747 | DOI:10.1016/j.suc.2022.07.011 (Source: The Surgical Clinics of North America)

Abdominal Wall Defects
The 2 most common congenital abdominal wall defects are gastroschisis and omphalocele. Gastroschisis is a defect in the abdominal wall with exposed abdominal contents. Mortality rates are low but lengths of stay are often prolonged by bowel dysmotility and other intestinal abnormalities in complicated cases. Omphalocele is a defect through the umbilical cord with herniated abdominal contents covered by a sac. It is associated with other genetic abnormalities and other anomalies that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Prenatal diagnosis in both conditions allows for improved prenatal consultation and coordinat...
