AB  - Gastroschisis  is  congenital  abdominal  wall  defect  though  which  intraperitoneal  contents  protrude  (Fig.  396-1).  The  defect  occurs  to  the  right  of  the  umbilical  cord  and  can  range  in  size  from  2  to  5  cm.  The  bowel  typically  appears  edematous  and  inflamed  and  may  be  covered  by  a  fibrinous  peel.  The  most  commonly  eviscerated  organs  include  the  intestines  and  gonads.  Gastroschisis  occurs  in  younger  mothers,1  with  a  total  incidence  of  one  in  3000  live  births.2  Several  studies  have  reported  a  recent  increase  in  the  incidence  of  gastroschisis.3-5
