Abstract
The decrease in ICC density encountered in damaged intestinal loops in gastroschisis was prevented with intrauterine treatment. The beneficial effects of amniotic exchange on intestinal motility may depend on both prevention of intestinal damage and preservation of ICC density and function. The density of ICC might be a reliable numeric parameter both to predict intestinal motility disorders in gastroschisis and to compare the effectiveness of intrauterine treatment methods.
