Over the last five decades, healthcare advances have yielded quantum improvements in life expectancy for individuals with congenital genitourinary conditions (CGCs), leading to a crisis of care. Many individuals with CGC enter adulthood unprepared to manage their condition. Pediatric CGC specialists lack training to manage adulthood-related healthcare issues, while adult genitourinary specialists lack training within the context of CGCs. To address these challenges, the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases convened individuals with CGCs and experts from a variety of fields to identify research needs to improve transitional urology care. This manuscript outlines identified research needs.

The pediatric primary care provider in the medical home has a central and unique role in the care of children with spina bifida. The primary care provider addresses not only the typical issues of preventive and acute health care but also the needs specific to these children. Optimal care requires communication and comanagement with pediatric medical and developmental subspecialists, surgical specialists, therapists, and community providers. The medical home provider is essential in supporting the family and advocating for the child from the time of entry into the practice through adolescence, which includes transition and transfer to adult health care. This report reviews aspects of care specific to the infant with spina bifida (particularly myelomeningocele) that will facilitate optimal medical, functional, and developmental outcomes.

Advances in medicine have allowed children born with spina bifida to survive into adulthood. However, few studies have examined the unique issues that individuals with spina bifida face. Even fewer have looked at adolescence, specifically with regard to sexual function, in individuals with spina bifida. Most of the data in the literature are retrospective case studies and survey studies. The purpose of this article is to review previously published reports on sexual function and the issues faced by adolescents with spina bifida with regard to sex, reproduction, and incontinence.
