Abstract
This article describes the common methods to study long-term outcomes in patients who have undergone major surgery in newborn period. It also sums up today's knowledge on the long-term outcome of some classic newborn surgical conditions. The analysis of long-term outcomes is important to pediatric surgeons. Knowledge of long-term outcome can guide the patient's management and principles of the follow-up throughout the patient's childhood. It also aims to give the parents of the patient a realistic picture on the development of their child. Recent data have shown that many patients who have undergone major surgery during early childhood have significant functional aberrations at adult age. Some of these have a profound influence on the quality of life of these patients.
