Abstract:
We report here the short-term results of 3 cases of cloacal and bladder exstrophy that underwent complete primary exstrophy repair. One case was diagnosed as bladder exstrophy and the others were diagnosed as cloacal exstrophy. Complete primary exstrophy repair for all 3 cases was carried out within 24 hours after birth. There was no wound dehiscence within the follow-up period of 12 months. The complete primary exstrophy repair with positioning the bladder neck and urethra in the deep pelvic cavity achieves a satisfactory short-term result.
