Abstract
Our new protocol of both scheduled elective cesarean section and early gastroschisis repair resulted in a higher proportion of primary repair, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, earlier full feeds, and shorter length of stay. There was no increase in mortality or morbidity. The primary-repair babies had no mortality and had excellent cosmesis.
