Topic Overview

Multicenter study by Hawkins et al. (JPS, August) found no significant difference between silo and immediate closure for gastroschisis across mortality, sepsis, readmission, and time to full feeds. Clinical decision can be based on surgeon preference and patient factors.

Key Takeaways

  • Large multi-center study found no difference between silo and immediate closure for gastroschisis across key outcomes.
  • Mortality, sepsis, readmission rates, and time to full feeds were equivalent between both closure methods.
  • Surgical approach for gastroschisis closure can be based on surgeon preference and clinical context—no superior method identified.
