Long Term Follow Up of Complete Bladder Exstrophy Repair. A Case Report

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:Bladder exstrophy is a congenital anomaly which is not always successfully managed by surgery. Major goals of surgical intervention in such cases are preservation of normal renal function, development of adequate bladder function and urinary continence and avoidance of future urinary tract infections. We present 5-year data on a patient who underwent complete repair of the bladder exstrophy. CASE REPORT : We describe a full term female infant who presented at birth with complete bladder exstrophy.

“…Of note, this increase in resistances should never happen at the cost of upper urinary tract deterioration, which may occur in case of poorly compliant bladders with incomplete emptying. 20 Reportedly, up to 80% of cases can achieve a socially acceptable urinary continence (3-hour dry interval during daytime and volitional voiding) using this surgical strategy. 21 Nevertheless, many series report that 20 to 50% of cases will require bladder augmentation eventually.…”
