  • Title: Gastroschisis associated with atresia--a plea for delay in resection.
    Author: van Hoorn WA, Hazebroek FW, Molenaar JC.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1985 Dec; 40(6):368-70. PubMed ID: 2936030.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of gastroschisis complicated by atresia and ischaemia of the small-bowel wall are presented. Full recovery of the intestine is shown to be feasible. Apparently the atrocious picture presented by the matted intestine upon birth does not reflect the true state of the deeper structures. A plea is made to delay resection and to perform a second look operation at a later stage in an effort to save intestinal length.
