ABSTRACT

Intrapartum treatment of gastroschisis is a surgical technique applied during birth under the principle of preservation of fetal-placental circulation. It allows reducing herniated viscera before first breathing, prevents air swallowing during crying and minimizes delay between birth and surgical resolution of this complex condition. This report presented the use of this technique for the first time in the territorial center of neonatal surgery in Holguin province. The patient was a female neonate from Santiago de Cuba province, she was born from cesarean section at 36 weeks of gestation and was operated on by a multidisciplinary team in the provincial maternal hospital of the province. The defect was corrected during the first 15 minutes after birth and before cutting the umbilical cord. The ventilation support was necessary for less than 24 hours, and three days after the procedure, the oral route started functioning. On the fifth day, there was observed the total closure of the defect without any suture. With the application of the Simil EXIT procedure (similar to extrauterine intrapartum treatment) for gastroschisis, it was possible to correct immediately the complex defect of the abdominal wall, which is of high mortality and morbidity, and to early incorporate the patient to her normal life with no trace of surgery and no complication.
