📋Overview
Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall defect characterized by an opening near the umbilicus through which the intestines and sometimes other abdominal organs protrude outside the body without a protective sac. It is a distinct condition from omphalocele, which involves a sac covering the herniated organs.
