Female bladder exstrophy.
Bladder exstrophy is one of the most challenging congenital urinary tract abnormalities. Apart from the open bladder the patient also has various other abnormalities, including urogenital, musculoskeletal and anorectal defects. The size of the exstrophic bladder varies from patient to patient. In the female the clitoris to bifid and the vagina is anteriorly placed. In this paper various aspects of female bladder exstrophy are reviewed in detail, including incidence, etiology, anatomy and clinical features, together with early, medium-term and long-term surgical management. The aim is to achieve a functional bladder closure, although some patients are better off with a urinary diversion. Considering the complexity of the urogenital problems and the surgical management thereof, all patients require lifelong follow-up.
