Variants of exstrophy are rare anomalies seen in the spectrum bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex. A seven day old male neonate was admitted our department with a variant duplicate communicating fistula. Patient presented patch exstrophic just below low set umbilicus normal sized phallus and normally positioned urethral meatus. The baby managed successfully surgery is under regular follow up.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of simple closure using bilateral anterior pubic osteotomy to achieve a tension-free approximation of the pubis and abdominal wall in patients with bladder exstrophy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study carried out between 2006 and 2009 included 15 patients (13 boys and 2 girls; age range 3-47 months). Of these patients, three had recurrent exstrophy whi...

Purpose Classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), is a complex congenital malformation affecting formation of the lower abdominal wall and bladder. This study evaluates readability common online resources regarding CBE its treatment. We hypothesize that high levels reading comprehension are reflected in these resources, which may not be suitable to general population for understanding this condition. Me...

INTRODUCTION Bladder exstrophy is a very rare congenital anomaly and is associated with an increased incidence of bladder cancer. Most patients undergo reconstructive operations during childhood. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 53 year-old woman was diagnosed with enteric type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the unreconstructed exstrophic bladder. Preoperative examination revealed no primary site in the ga...

Urolithiasis is a common complication of surgically treated bladder exstrophy. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of exstrophy, cystectomy, and ileal conduit urinary diversion presenting with a large calculus at the stomal neck of her conduit in the absence of a structural defect.

The niainier of origin of exstrophy of thc bladder, and more particularly the cpispadias commonly associated with it, has long i ~ m n i n e d a subject of conjec4ure and controversy. This is duc primarily to the lack of availability of stages in their genesis. No one, as fa r as we could ascertain from the literature, has ever seen epispadias o r exstrophy i i i young em1)ryos. Tlint, after al...

The exstrophy-epispadias complex is a rare congenital malformation of the genitourinary system, abdominal wall muscles, and pelvic structures. Modern surgical repairs focus on reconstruction of the bladder and its adjacent structures, with the goal of achieving urinary continence, a satisfactory cosmetic result, and a high quality of life. Complex surgery in neonates and young children, as well...

Cloacal exstrophy is a very rare and complex malformation. We report a neonate of cloacal exstrophy with mature teratoma presenting as a component of exstrophy. To our knowledge this has not been reported in the literature.

Bladder exstrophy is a rare birth defect that typically requires patients to undergo multiple surgical procedures throughout the course of their childhood. Many ultimately undergo operations that use segments of bowel for the reconstruction and/or augmentation of the urinary tract, which imparts an increased risk of malignancy in these patients. We present the case of a 59-year-old man with a h...
