Recently, the survival of patients with gastroschisis has been dramatically improved and it has reached more than 90%. Over the last 10 years, 20 of 21 cases (95%) survived in our hospital. We have been using the primary fascial closure of the abdominal wall as a standard operative procedure. The umbilical cord was usually excised at the operation in order to secure the suture line and prevent wound infection. The survivors sometimes complained of the absence of the umbilicus. However, it was somewhat difficult to create a new umbilicus later by use of the surrounding skin. In the last five cases, we tried to carry out the primary fascial closure with preservation of the umbilical cord. All patients could obtain good cosmetic results with near-normal appearance. Omphalitis or cellulitis was never observed, but a small umbilical hernia occurred in one case.
