Abstract

Pseudoexstrophy is a rare, mild exstrophy variant which involves the major musculoskeletal defects of the exstrophy complex without any associated defect in the urinary system. A case is reported presenting at birth as an umbilical positional anomaly. Differential diagnosis and management are reviewed.

The modified rectal bladder in children: long-term follow-up.

The criteria for evaluation of urinary diversion procedures in children must be strict since their life expectancy is long. Our experience with the modified rectal bladder in children with considerable follow-up periods is reported herein. All patients were continent by day and night. Urography studies revealed a normal upper tract in all cases. Three early complications were encountered among patients who had a submucous tunnel reimplantation. Reflux to the proximal colon or the kidneys was not demonstrated. The metabolic status and growth-rate patterns of these patients were within normal limits without alkaline therapy. All urine samples aspirated from the renal pelves were sterile. We conclude that a modified rectal bladder with a second ileal intussusception valve is the operation of choice whenever urinary diversion in children is indicated.

Penopubic flaps technique for the repair of epispadias with or without exstrophy: a preliminary report.

Six patients (average age, 2 1/2 years; range, 4 months to 8 years) with the exstrophy-epispadias complex and isolate epispadias were treated using an alternative method. An inverted U-shaped incision (with a length of approximately 3 to 5 cm and a width of approximately 0.7 to 1.0 cm) was prepared, extending from the penopubic urethral meatus toward the umbilicus. The two incisions were extended along the urethral plate toward the ventral face of the glans. The pubic flap was prepared from the skin or scar tissue on the pubic area. The neourethra was reconstructed using penopubic flaps. A fistula occurred in one patient, which healed spontaneously. The penopubic flaps enabled us to form a wide-enough urethral tube and to perform a better dissection on the pubic area.
