Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Stage I: bladder and posterior urethral closure soon
thereafter birth
• Stage II: epispadias repair at 6–12 months of life
• Stage III: BNR when the bladder capacity is adequate
(usually at 4–5 years of life)
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• The umbilicus is ligated and
trimmed
• Incisions are made from the
midline above the umbilicus,
extending around the margins
of the bladder, and forward
onto the root of the penis
upto the distal limit of the
veru montanum.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Bladder Mobilisation
• extraperitoneal
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Completion of the dissection around the periphery of the
bladder and the urethral plate.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Inversion of the bladder plate and approximation of the
corpora . Also note the inferior paraexstrophy incisions.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Closure of the skin over the corpora and their partial freeing
from the pubis
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Placement of a suprapubic drainage tube.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Further closure of the skin inferiorly,
• approximation to the UP
• Creation of the paraexstrophy flaps
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• The urethral plate is prepared for tubularization over a
catheter.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• The urethral plate is now tubularized,
• ureteral catheters are placed bilaterally
• Bladder being closed
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Completion of tubularization of the bladder and urethra, and
location of the various drainage tubes
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• After two-layered closure of the bladder and urethral plate,
the bladder is reduced into the pelvis and fixed with sutures.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Sutures are placed to for approximation of the pubic halves
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Drainage tubes are brought out superiorly,
• Approximation of the pubis helps in successful closure of
bladder and abdominal wall

Cantwell-Ransley epispadias repair.
• The urethral plate is dissected from the corpora and is tubularized
Cantwell-Ransley epispadias repair.
• Corporotomies are created at the midphallus, and the urethra is transposed to
the ventral surface.
Cantwell-Ransley epispadias repair.
• The corpora cavernosa are rotated medially and reapproximated at the corporotomy
sites, pulling the corporal bodies inward and providing coverage of the neourethra.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• The distal urethral plate at the tip of the glans is incised longitudinally and
the incision is closed transversely with fine, absorbable sutures. This
‘IPGAM’ maneuver brings the urethral meatus more ventrally on the glans.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Following epispadias repair, the patient’s bladder capacity is measured
annually with gravity cystogram under anesthesia.
MSRE Stage 1 + 2: Combined Exstrophy and Epispadias Closures
faied repair (30), and delayed repair (5)
Results were comparable with conventional MSRE repair
However Osteotomy in this approach is necessary
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Cephalotrigonal ureteric reimplantation is done
• a strip of bladder mucosa ~ 1.5–1.8 cm wide and 3–4 cm long is generated
• A tube is formed over 8 French catheter
Bladder Neck Reconstruction YDLB
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
 (1) the urethra is stricture-free and capable of catheterization
 (2) under anesthesia, the bladder capacity is 60–85 cc; and
 (3) the child is mature enough to participate in the
postoperative voiding program (4-5 years)
Pre-requisites of BNR
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Surgical success is defined as a dry interval of >2–3 hours and
spontaneous voiding without catheterization.
• YDL-BNR has a urinary continence rates of 30%–80+% for
patients
• Many factors influence the outcome of surgery.
– initial failed bladder closure or
– prior failed BNR
– A preoperative bladder capacity of <85 ccs
Results of BNR
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Use of osteotomies and patient immobilization through spica
casting or Bryant’s traction increases the success of bladder
closure and subsequent continence.
• Delayed bladder closure increases the likelihood of bladder
augmentation due to inadequate bladder capacity that, in turn,
reduces the chance for voluntary voiding.
Results of BNR
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Results of BNR
• Bryant’s traction after exstrophy closure without osteotomies.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Results of BNR
• Patient seen with an external fixator and in modified Buck’s
traction.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Results of BNR
Approximately 80% of patients had compliant and stable bladders before BNR
19% maintained normal filling and voiding dynamics after reconstruction.
less invasive alternatives to the Young-Dees Leadbetter BNR should be sought
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Results of BNR
8 of 13 patients with initially successful BNR required further surgery in
second decade of life because of poor compliance and incontinence
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Artificial Urinary Sphincter
– Plagued by multiple operative revisions
– Used only in older children
– AUS erosions into bladder and bowel may occur
Bladder Neck Wraps and Slings
– does not consistently maintain long-term urinary
continence, especially in male patients
Management of failed BNR
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Bladder Neck Bulking Agents
• Bulking agents can be used as an adjunctive procedure for
those patients who demonstrate slight leakage due to stress
incontinence after BNR
• Bladder Neck Closure with CUD
– BNC with Mitrofanoff is an option in those patients who have failed
multiple attempts at BNR.
– This option eliminates the chance to void per urethra
Management of failed BNR
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
• Jeffs and colleagues noted normal upper urinary tracts in 87%
• series from Johns Hopkins also achieved low rates of renal
damage (17%),
• continence rates of 60%–88% are achieved with MSRE
Results of MSRE
early exstrophy closure in conjunction with pelvic ring approximation,
results in a higher rate of continence
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Results of MSRE
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Failed Initial Closure
– complete bladder dehiscence,
– bladder prolapse with obstruction, and
– stricture of the posterior urethra.
Results of MSRE
Failure of the initial closure significantly decreases the chance of continence
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Dehiscence
• Can be prevented by
– approximation of the pelvic ring,
– adequate pelvic immobilization,
– prevention of wound infection,
– Prevention of abdominal distention,
– Prventing urinary tube malfunction.
Results of MSRE
The child should be given a 6-month recovery period prior to a second
attempt at closure.
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Bladder Prolapse
– Prolapse represents dehiscence of the lower end of the closure.
– Occurs due to incomplete pelvic ring closure
Results of MSRE
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Bladder outlet obstruction
• is characterized by incresed PVRU.
• It can increases the risk of
– renal damage by raising storage pressures to dangerous levels
– urinary tract infection.
Results of MSRE
The bladder outlet may be assessed with sounds or bougies 4–6 weeks after closure
USG of the bladder and upper tracts should be performed 3 months after closure
Treatment is UD and CIC
Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy
Neourethral stricture
• it is due to
– paraexstrophy skin flaps in the posterior urethra
– suture reaction
– urethral stents
• RBUS shows features of BOO
• Management options include
– DU
– DVIU
– EPA
– CUD

Cosmetic Outcome
• Cosmetic outcome is not very encouraging
• significantly small phallus can lead to low self-esteem,
psychosocial and psychosexual dysfunction, and suicidal

with significant risk for complications

• Candidates for osteotomy include those
• >72 hours old,
• newborns with a wide pubic diastasis of >4 cm,
