Abstract

Bladder exstrophy is one of the most rare birth disorder. An incidence of around 3.3 per 1,000 live births is recorded for classical bladder exstrophy, which is more prevalent in males compared to females. The urinary system, genitalia, bony pelvis, spine, anus, and ventral body wall can all show signs of anomalies caused by bladder exstrophy. Bladder exstrophy often involves the displacement of all tissues anteriorly, including the bladder, urethra, vagina, and rectum. Bladder exstrophy is notable for the abnormally-shaped bony pelvis. Approaches and strategies have evolved in the years that followed. If we talk about treatrment, a new method for closing the abdominal wall has replaced pelvic osteotomy; it involves re-anchoring the recti to the pubic rami following midline approximation, rather than removing them. At the same time as a successful method for repairing the bladder neck was described.
