This paper recognizes the significant risk to the upper urinary tract (24% of patients with renal scarring or significant hydronephrosis) at a mean follow-up of 4.5 years after the most recent continence procedure. Careful monitoring of this aspect of care in the patient with bladder exstrophy cannot be stressed enough. DOI: 10.1016/S0022-5347(05)64220-6

Grady and Mitchell discuss early follow-up in bladder exstrophy patients following complete primary repair. The authors also provide a rationale for and a detailed description of their re-popularized technique of bladder closure and epispadias repair to completely close this defect as a single unit in the newborn period.

The authors provide a discussion of 80 patients with bladder exstrophy culled from a database of 704 exstrophy (bladder and cloacal) and epispadias patients who underwent continent urinary diversion. This paper summarizes procedures performed, pre- and postoperative bladder/reservoir function, and continence rates in this complex subgroup of bladder exstrophy patients.
