Gastroschisis: primary closure using umbilical cord strengthened by a polypropylene mesh

Aims: We present a new method of repairing gastroschisis, where the disproportion between the size of the eviscerated intestine and the hypoplastic abdominal cavity could dangerously elevate abdominal pressure if primary closure of the abdominal wall is attempted.

Methods: We used umbilical cord graft strengthened by a polypropylene mesh to achieve definitive closure of the abdominal wall in a single operation.

Results: This technique provides a mesothelial surface in contact with the intestines, strengthened by a fibrous reaction that prevents future herniation...

Reference intervals for the cross sectional area of the umbilical cord during gestation

Objective: To establish reference values for the sonographic cross-sectional area of the umbilical cord during gestation and to correlate them with fetal anthropometric parameters.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed involving 312 normal pregnant women at gestational ages 24–39 weeks...

Umbilical cord thickness in the first and early second trimesters and perinatal outcome

Objectives: To study the association between thickness of the umbilical cord at 11+0 to 14+6 gestational weeks and perinatal outcome.

Methods: We studied 216 pregnant women between 11+0 and 14+6 weeks' gestation with singletons, intact membranes, normal volumes of amniotic fluid and a regular menstrual period...
