title: Development of a program for planned cesarean delivery and immediate pediatric surgical repair of ventral wall defects.
abstract: The development of a program for timed elective delivery and immediate repair of ventral wall defects is described. Our experience with 3 cases of immediate surgical repair of gastroschisis shows that this program can be applied in tertiary care centers to shorten pre- and postoperative stay and to present the neonate to surgery in optimal condition.
