1. Tips on using my ppt.
1. You can freely download, edit, modify and put your name
etc.
2. Don’t be concerned about number of slides. Half the
slides are blanks except for the title.
3. First show the blank slides (eg. Etiology ) > Ask students
what they already know about etiology of today's topic. >
Then show next slide which enumerates etiologies.
4. At the end rerun the show – show blank> ask questions >
show next slide.
5. This will be an ACTIVE LEARNING SESSION x
three revisions.
6. Good for self study also. Display blank slide> Think
what you already know about this > Read next slide.
7. See notes for bibliography.

8. Pathophysiology
Multiple Theories-
• An abnormally large cloacal membrane causes a
wedge effect and prevents the medial migration of
the mesenchymal tissue.
• An abnormally large cloacal membrane causes a
wedge effect and prevents the medial migration of
the mesenchymal tissue.
• Premature rupture of the cloacal membrane
• Caudal displacement of the genital tubercle,
• Abnormal fluid retention leading to rupture of the
embryonic bladder
• Pubic diastasis
10. Pathology
• The lower portion of anterior abdominal wall and
anterior wall of urinary bladder is missing.
• Bladder-exstrophy-epispadias-complex (BEEC)
depicts a spectrum of birth defects, ranging from
epispadias to cloacal exstrophy at the milder and
the most severe ends of the spectrum.
• The classical bladder exstrophy is characterized by
abnormalities involving the lower urinary tract,
abdominal wall, bony pelvis, genitalia, pelvic
floor, spine, and the anus.
• The 'open book configuration' of the pelvis
23. Signs
Local Examination-
• A fleshy, red mass prolapsing out of the
suprapubic region represents the open bladder
plate.
• There is continuous urine leakage from the
mass.
• In male newborns, the phallus is short, stubby,
and has a dorsal chordee (pointing upwards).
• The glans is flattened with widely separated
(divergent) corpora due to the wide pubic
diastasis.
24. Signs
Local Examination-
• The testis may not be descended at birth, and
occasionally there may be the presence of bilateral
inguinal hernias.
• In females, the clitoris is bifid with a slightly
anterior vaginal opening.
• Uterine and vaginal duplications .
• Anterior ectopic anus wlth patulous anal orifice
with mucosal prolapse
25. Signs
Local Examination-
• It is not uncommon for some children to present
later in life.
• Severe excoriation in the para-exstrophy skin,
hypertrophied-polypoidal bladder plate with
squamous metaplasia, poor control over bowel
movements, and waddling gait are common.
• Social problems due to the continuous wetting of
clothes
41. Operative Therapy
• The aims of the surgical treatment-
1. To provide a competent receptacle
(bladder) for storage,
2. To prevent upper tract damage
3. To provide cosmetically acceptable
genitalia providing good functional
outcomes in terms of continence and
sexual function.
46. Take home messages
• Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital
anomaly characterized by a spectrum of
anomalies involving the ventral body wall,
urinary tract, genitalia, bony pelvis, spine,
anus, etc
• Its diagnosis is clinical and does not require
any additional investigations
• Precise surgery to provide acceptable
continence rates remains the greatest
challenge for pediatric surgeons.
