My 11 year old daughter was born with Gastroschisis.  Although she is doing well now and suffering no problems from this, she has asked repeatedly when she can get the scar repaired and have a belly button like everyone else. Is this possible?  
Dear Margie,
Cosmetic surgery for patients with gastroschisis is available. Unfortunately, we no longer have access to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. You may wish to post this message in the Maternal Child Forum or consult a pediatric surgeon at a local university hospital. Good luck to you.
