Abstract

After a diagnosis of omphalocele during pregnancy, questions regarding long-term prognosis are of primary importance for parents. It is imperative that their questions are answered with substantiated data to promote confident decisions for their children. They frequently express concerns regarding long-term survival, quality of life, need for more operations, feeding issues, motor and cognitive development, cosmesis, and the unique difficulties of giant omphaloceles. The available outcome studies that address these questions are discussed.
