Implementing a standardized gastroschisis protocol significantly increases the rate of primary sutureless closure without compromising closure success or early clinical outcomes

Retrospective study (2008-2019) demonstrates that implementing a standardized gastroschisis protocol significantly increased bedside sutureless closures from 35% to 95% without affecting closure success rates or early outcomes. Multi-disciplinary practice bundles can shift closure approach while maintaining safety in uncomplicated gastroschisis cases.
