The author reports four newborns with large gastroschisis, in whom primary fascial closure could not be accomplished. They were successfully treated by primary repair with Gore-Tex patch. Gore-Tex patch closure is a safe and good alternative in large abdominal wall defects when primary fascial repair is not feasible.
