Management of gastroschisis in an extremely low birth weight infant: report of a case
This case emphasizes how prematurity significantly affected the patient's clinical outcomes, and highlights the importance of individualized management strategies. Our experience demonstrates that custom silo placement allows for the size to be adapted to the abdominal defect, and highlights the critical need to prioritize postnatal bowel perfusion in ELBW infants with gastroschisis.
