Bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.
The bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC) represents an anterior midline defect with variable expression comprising a spectrum of anomalies involving the abdominal wall, pelvis, urinary tract, genitalia, and occasionally the spine and anus. The vast majority of BEEC cases are classified as non-syndromic and the etiology of this malformation is still unknown. This review presents the curre...
متن کاملBladder Exstrophy and Epispadias
Introduction Exstrophy and epispadias are part of a spectrum of anomalies characterised by exposure of part or all of the mucosa of the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) to the external environment through a defect in the anterior abdominal wall.

Historically, surgical outcomes were poor in patients with classic bladder exstrophy and cloacal exstrophy, the two more severe presentations. However, modern techniques to repair epispadias, classic bladder exstrophy, and cloacal exstrophy have increased...
