    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Agenesis of the bladder is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • It arises from abnormal development of the urogenital sinus.
    • This condition presents significant challenges in pediatric urology.

    Observation:

    • The study reports on three patients with bladder agenesis who survived the perinatal period.
    • Two of these patients have remained alive for over four years.
    • Associated anomalies include renal and genital abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • Patients commonly experience recurrent urinary tract infections.
    • Urinary incontinence is a prominent symptom.
    • Renal function stabilization is a key concern.

    Implications:

    • Urinary diversion is the recommended treatment to preserve renal function.
    • Antireflux procedures are considered preferable for long-term management.
    • Early intervention and multidisciplinary care are crucial for improving outcomes in bladder agenesis.
