title: [Long term results and quality of life of children with omphalocele and gastroschisis].
abstract: Thirty-six children who underwent operations for omphalocele or gastroschisis were followed up at an average age of 7.4 years by medical examination. The majority of those who survived the initial treatment showed no signs of physical or psychological disorder linked with their abdominal wall defects. Those children without severe associated malformations were able to conduct a normal life.
