The ICD code Q793 is used to code Gastroschisis

Gastroschisis represents a congenital defect characterised by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents freely protrude. There is no overlying sac or peritoneum, and the size of the defect is usually less than 4 centimetres (1.6 in). The abdominal wall defect is located at the junction of the umbilicus and normal skin, and is almost always to the right of the umbilicus. The defect occurs 5–8 weeks after conception, most likely due to a disruption of the blood supply to the developing abdominal wall.
