Bladder Extrophy and Epispadias
نویسنده
چکیده
Bladder extrophy and epispadias remain a challenging problem in pediatric urology. There are many therapeutic options ranging from different types of primary closure to the primary choice for diversion in extrophy patients. Further, there are several options for the treatment of male epispadias. In bladder extrophy, primary closure with meticulous reconstruction of the pelvic floor, combined with early clean intermittent catheterisation, seems to be the best first choice. In cases of female epispadias, a new technique will be described which provides a good chance to develop continence and voiding after one operation without the need for bladder neck reconstruction. The chapter tries to give a review of the contemporary treatment of extrophy and epispadias including some details of operative procedures.

Although epispadias is considered to be the least severe defect of the exstrophy-epispadias complex, the treatment of this anomaly is far from trivial. Epispadias does not involve the body of the bladder or the hindgut but does affect the urethra and can affect the bladder neck. As a consequence, it presents with a spectrum of severity that can affect urinary continence if the epispadias anomal...

OBJECTIVE Growth of the bladder in children with bladder exstrophy is primarily responsible for later ability to void continently. Improvement in bladder capacity has been noted in some boys following epispadias repair. Does the timing of epispadias repair influence the ability of the bladder to grow? METHODS Data were collected regarding bladder volume measurements, obtained under anesthesia...

Introduction: Bladder Exstrophy (BE) is a congenital anomaly in which the bladder and abdominal wall and external genitalia are pathologically open. Incidence of this anomaly is one in 50000. Treatment of this anomaly is complicated and, the old method of treatment was pelvic osteotomy.
