[Laparoschisis: therapeutic problems. Apropos of 48 cases].
A non-selective series of 48 neo-nates was treated during a period of 8 years (1978-1985), with follow-up more than four months for recent observations. Surgical treatment comported Gross-technique in 32 cases; immediate total-closure in 7 cases and progressive reintegration (Schuster) in 10 cases. Long-term parenteral nutrition was performed in 38 neo-nates. The etiology of different deaths (toxic++-infection, mechanical obstruction) is discussed. The percentage of survivors was progressively raised: 70% since 3 years, and better in the last 11 cases, all with good result.
