#121-125 - Abdominal Wall Defects

Hello Friends,

This week of The Incubator and Neonatology Review podcast, we reviewed the scary topic of abdominal wall defects. Gastroschisis and Omphaloceles are high yield for board exam and there was definitely a lot for us to cover. We also had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Noor Kassira, a pediatric surgeon from Joe DiMaggio Children's hospital who answered our burning questions on babies with abdominal wall defect and their long-term outcomes.

Our guest this week is the brilliant Dr. Noor Kassira. Find out more about Noor at https://www.jdch.com/physicians/k/kassira-noor-m

If you would like to reach out to Dr. Kassira for questions or opportunities to collaborate her email is: NKassira@mhs.net
