Picture 6. Omphalocele and gastroschisis. Shown here is a baby with gastroschisis and colon<br />

atresia. The bulbous proximal end <strong>of</strong> the atretic colon is excised and a colostomy created at the<br />

abdominal wall defect. An anastomosis <strong>of</strong> the proximal, dilated colon to the distal "microcolon" (in<br />

view <strong>of</strong> its small caliber) would not function properly. The colostomy can be closed 4-6 weeks later.<br />

(Gastrostomy tubes are no longer routinely used.)
