This study aimed to identify the specific needs and functional challenges faced by adults who underwent pediatric bladder exstrophy reconstructions and assess the management of these issues in an adult population.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for all bladder exstrophy complex patients who underwent surgery at a young age and were subsequently referred to our center between 2005 and 2020.
