    Abstract:
    Gastroschisis is a severe congenital malformation of the abdominal wall, with relative low incidence. The authors are analysing different therapeutic methods, in a group of 17 cases, hospitalised and operated in Department of Pediatric Surgery, Emergency Hospital of Craiova. They are underlining the importance of the ultrasound prenatal diagnosis of the malformation, close related to different therapeutic methods applied in this period of time and also are advising secondary closure of the abdominal wall, using a synthetic material (Silo-bag) for temporary coverage of the intestine developed outside the peritoneal cavity. This method helped with the decreasing of mortality in gastroschisis but with high costs of treatment.
