    This study presents surgical outcomes for bladder exstrophy repair. Bladder closure and neck reconstruction achieved high continence rates with low morbidity, though careful monitoring is needed to prevent renal deterioration.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Classical bladder exstrophy is a complex congenital anomaly requiring surgical intervention.
    • Early surgical management aims for secure closure and urinary continence.
    • Long-term renal function monitoring is crucial after bladder exstrophy repair.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate surgical results of primary bladder closure and bladder neck reconstruction for classical bladder exstrophy.
    • To assess urinary continence and renal function outcomes in patients undergoing these procedures.
    • To identify factors associated with surgical success and potential complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 28 initial bladder closures and 25 initial bladder neck reconstructions.

  • Assessment of urinary continence via parental interviews using defined criteria.
  • Evaluation of renal function using excretory urograms in a subset of patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent surgical results (defined by continence) were achieved in 86% (daytime dry >3 hours) and 80% (≤1 incontinent episode/day) of children post-bladder neck reconstruction.
    • Partial bladder prolapse occurred in 2 cases; complete wound dehiscence was absent after primary closure.
    • 10% of renal units showed hydronephrosis and functional deterioration, with delayed diagnosis in cases not monitored closely postoperatively.

    Conclusions:

    • Secure abdominal wall closure and urinary continence are achievable with staged functional bladder closure for classical bladder exstrophy.
    • Minimal morbidity is associated with these surgical techniques.
    • Regular postoperative monitoring, including excretory urograms in the first year, is essential to prevent delayed diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction and subsequent renal deterioration.
