Post-surgical morbidity occurred in 74 of patients with sepsis the main complication in 61.5. A total of 16.2 died mainly due to acute renal failure and sepsis. In the omphalocele group, median size of defect was 5.5 cm. Primary closure was done in 65 of patients. Complications occurred in 65 of newborns, sepsis was the most frequent complication (46).
