Background The addition of pelvic osteotomy to the armamentarium of tools for correction of
classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) and cloacal exstrophy (CE) has undeniably served as one …

Cloacal exstrophy is the most severe congenital anomaly of the exstrophy–epispadias
complex and is characterized by gastrointestinal, genitourinary, neurospinal, and …

We developed treatment guidelines (TGs) for appropriate transitional care of the
genitourinary system in patients with persistent cloaca (PC), cloacal exstrophy (CE), or …

Purpose Staged pelvic osteotomy has been shown in the past to be an effective tool in the
closure of the extreme pubic diastasis of cloacal exstrophy. The authors sought to compare …

Purpose To investigate the factors affecting primary bladder closure in cloacal exstrophy
(CE). A successful primary closure is important for optimizing reconstructive outcomes, and it …

Background The type of osteotomy and pelvic fixation in the management of primary cloacal
exstrophy (CE) closure is variable. The purpose of this study was to evaluate primary CE …

The Bladder-Exstrophy-Epispadias Complex (BEEC) represents the severe end of the
urorectal malformation spectrum, and has a profound impact on continence, and on sexual …

Purpose Cloacal exstrophy (CE) patients may need bladder reconstruction after initially
undergoing surgery to obtain continence and improve their quality of life. This study attempts …

Purpose A pivotal factor in the success of bladder closure in patients with classic bladder
exstrophy (CBE) is the postoperative immobilization of the pelvis and lower extremities after …

Introduction Cloacal exstrophy (CE) is a severe midline congenital abnormality that requires
numerous surgical corrections to achieve an acceptable quality of life. Candidates for …
