Enterovesical cystoplasty for bladder closure in cloacal exstrophy.

K A Burbige, C Libby

    The Journal of Urology
    |May 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Enterocystoplasty successfully closed bladders in 4 infants with cloacal exstrophy. While three patients survived, all require further surgery for incontinence.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Cloacal exstrophy is a complex congenital anomaly requiring multi-stage surgical reconstruction.
    • Enterocystoplasty, utilizing intestinal segments to augment the bladder, is a reconstructive option for bladder exstrophy.
    • Early surgical intervention is often critical for managing cloacal exstrophy.

    Observation:

    • Four infants diagnosed with cloacal exstrophy underwent enterocystoplasty for bladder closure.
    • Surgical procedures were performed on patients ranging from newborns to 8 months of age.
    • The study details the specific surgical technique employed for enterocystoplasty in this cohort.

    Findings:

    • Successful bladder closure was achieved in all four infants via enterocystoplasty.
    • Three out of the four patients survived the procedure.
    • All surviving patients remain incontinent, necessitating future bladder neck reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • Enterocystoplasty can achieve initial bladder closure in infants with cloacal exstrophy.
    • Long-term continence remains a significant challenge following enterocystoplasty for cloacal exstrophy.
    • Further reconstructive procedures, such as bladder neck reconstruction, are essential for improving outcomes in these patients.
