The obstetric and gynaecological complications of bladder exstrophy and epispadias

A study has been made of 16 girls (14 with bladder exstrophy and 2 with epispadias) treated in the United Birmingham Hospitals since 1946 and surviving to puberty. Eight of these are married, of whom 5 have been delivered of 8 children. Ten have required some form of gynaecological surgery, with uterine prolapse as the most troublesome lesion.
