ABSTRACT
The replacement of eviscerated bowel, without anaesthesia, has been performed safely in stable neonates with gastroschisis. This technique, termed [quot ]minimal intervention management[quot ], was used in three infants treated at the Newborn Special Care Nursery of the University Hospital of the West Indies. Two infants had excellent results but one had bowel perforation during the procedure, necessitating conversion to formal laparotomy under general anaesthesia. In selected patients, advantages of this technique include the ability to be guided by patient response during the procedure in order to avoid excessive intra-abdominal tension, the avoidance of anaesthesia and minimal cost. This technique is proposed for wider use in developing countries
RESUMEN
El reemplazo del intestino eviscerado, sin anestesia, se ha realizado de manera segura en neonatos estables con gastroquisis. Esta técnica, denominada "tratamiento de intervención mínima", se usó en tres infantes tratados en la Guardería de Cuidados Especiales del Recién Nacido en el Hospital Universitario de West Indies. Los resultados fueron excelentes en dos de los infantes, pero el tercero tuvo una perforación intestinal durante el procedimiento, por lo cual se hizo necesaria la conversión a la laparotomía formal bajo anestesia general. En pacientes seleccionados, esta técnica incluye entre sus ventajas la posibilidad de ser guiada por la respuesta del paciente durante el procedimiento, para prevenir así una tensión intra-abdominal excesiva, evitar la anestesia, y asegurar un costo mínimo. Se propone que el uso de esta técnica se haga extensivo en los países en vías de desarrollo.
