Gastroschisis

Gastroschisis is a birth defect where the intestine protrudes from a hold next to the navel. Not just the intestine, if the abdominal wall does not form properly, sometimes the stomach or liver also develops outside of the body. The problem occurs early in pregnancy and is diagnosed by the experts before birth with ultrasound and other blood tests.

In most cases, surgery for gastroschisis in Delhi is performed shortly after birth where the organs are replaced and the opening is repaired by highly qualified surgeons like Dr Shweta K Sharma. Doctors wait for the newborn to get stable enough which might take from 7-to 10 days. During this time, the organs are covered with a warm, moist, sterile dressing or a sterile plastic bag to keep the organs protected from any kind of infections.

In some cases, gastroschisis diagnosis & treatment in India are started during pregnancy. If possible, fetal surgery is also performed in some cases.
