-- BACKGROUNG Gastroschisis is a congenital defect of the abdominal wall considered a surgical urgency in pediatrics. Survival has improven with intensive care units, delayed surgical repair and total parenteral nutrition. The aim is to determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of Gastroschisis in the Instituto Especializado de Salud del Niño (IESN), main referral center for pediatric and neonatal surgical entities in Peru. METHODS This is a descriptive, comparative study, case review of patients with Gastroschisis operated in IESN in a period of 10 years (1995-2004). The patient reports were used as the muestral unit. RESULTS Thirty two reports were reviewed. The 56,3% were female. Mortality was of 56,3%. Newborns with low birth weight were 56,3%. Average maternal age was 21,21 years old. Average gestational age was of 36,53 weeks. There were lack of prenatal control in 68,8%. Surgical repair was done in 51,6% among the first 12 hours of life. A Silo was placed in 71,9% and a primary repair in 28,1%. There was found association between lack of prenatal control, mecanical ventilatory support and lack of surgical closing of abdominal wall with mortality for Gastroschisis. Main causes of death were septic shock, pneumonia and peritonitis. CONCLUSIONS: Mortality is very high in our society. It is important to ameliorate prenatal control. Primary repair of abdominal wall has more advantages than other surgical options.
