    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Bladder exstrophy with intestinal anomalies presents significant management challenges.
    • Conventional treatments often result in long-term fecal and urinary incontinence, impacting social acceptability.
    • A novel, comprehensive management strategy is needed to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail an alternative method for total management of bladder exstrophy, intestinal fistula, and colonic atresia.
    • To assess the potential for improved social acceptability in affected children.
    • To present the outcomes of this management approach in a cohort of patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Staged surgical reconstruction: detachment of vesicointestinal connection, closure of bladder and intestinal defects.

  • Creation of a colostomy with the right colon and a mucous fistula with the distal colon.
  • Planned urinary diversion using the distal colonic segment and later bladder removal; epispadias repair as needed.
  • Establishment of a Pediatric Ostomy Club for patient and family support.

    • Main Results:

    • The described management approach was applied to 25 patients.
    • Outcomes were evaluated in 9 surviving patients.
    • The method aims to enable children to attend school and engage in normal activities, enhancing social integration.

    Conclusions:

    • This alternative management strategy offers a promising approach for children with complex bladder exstrophy and intestinal anomalies.
    • Early and comprehensive intervention, coupled with robust psychosocial support, can lead to improved functional outcomes and social acceptance.
    • Further evaluation of long-term results in a larger cohort is warranted.
