Primary one-stage bladder exstrophy reconstruction achieved good cosmetic results and continence in most infants. This approach offers potential advantages over staged procedures for bladder exstrophy repair.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Bladder exstrophy is a complex congenital anomaly requiring surgical correction.
  • Traditional staged repair methods have varying success rates.
  • A primary one-stage reconstruction offers an alternative approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of a primary one-stage reconstruction for bladder exstrophy.
  • To assess cosmetic and functional results, including urinary continence and renal function.
  • To compare the one-stage approach with staged procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 15 infants underwent primary one-stage bladder exstrophy reconstruction.
  • Procedures included ureteral reimplantation, bladder neck reconstruction, bladder closure, symphyseal approximation, abdominal wall closure, and epispadias repair.

  • Postoperative immobilization and follow-up assessments (clinical, uroflowmetry, imaging) were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • All patients achieved satisfactory cosmetic results.
    • Complete urinary continence was achieved in 8/15, partial continence in 5/15, and incontinence in 2/15.
    • Bladder capacity exceeded 100 ml in 11/15 patients; renal function remained normal in all.
    • Iliac osteotomy did not impact functional or cosmetic outcomes but was associated with pelvic asymmetry in two cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary one-stage reconstruction for bladder exstrophy yields acceptable functional and cosmetic outcomes.
    • This approach demonstrates a favorable success rate compared to staged procedures.
    • The one-stage method may offer advantages for patients with bladder exstrophy.
