The primary treatment for gastroschisis is surgical intervention, usually performed within hours of birth. The two main surgical approaches are:
Primary Repair: The organs are placed back into the abdomen, and the abdominal wall defect is closed in a single surgery. This is preferred when feasible as it reduces the risk of complications. Staged Repair: When the defect is large or if the infant's condition does not allow for immediate closure, a silo bag is used to cover the exposed organs. The organs are gradually moved back into the abdomen over several days, followed by closure of the defect.
