Article Synopsis
- Cloacal exstrophy (CE) is the most severe form of the Exstrophy-Epispadias Complex, complicating bladder and abdominal wall closure, and this study aims to find factors that contribute to successful secondary closure after a failed primary closure.
- An analysis of a database from 1975 to 2015 identified 24 patients who underwent secondary closure after primary failure, revealing a 100% success rate at the authors' institution compared to 12.5% elsewhere.
- Key factors linked to successful secondary closures included older age at the time of the procedure, pelvic osteotomy, and the use of Buck's immobilization with external fixation instead of a Spica cast.
