Outcome after minor surgery in children.
Major complications and death are rare events, but cases are reported even in connection with minor surgery. Most of the patients for 'minor' surgery are currently treated as day cases and during the hospital stay only the immediate or intermediate outcome is seen. The results of the evaluations on the late outcome at home can be surprising.
