Abstract
The importance of defining and implementing a culture of safety in pediatric surgery is being increasingly seen as essential to decreasing complications and improving outcomes. The concept of a safety culture is a universal one, but the elements of such a culture are different for every disease and anomaly treated. In this paper, I will review these elements as they pertain to the treatment of abdominal wall defects starting from fetal evaluation to post-discharge care.
