Introduction: Historically, repair of bladder exstrophy (BE) is associated with compromise to the upper tracts; the single stage repair of BE was considered to exacerbate risks of kidney impairment.
Objective: We aim to evaluate the risk of upper urinary tract deterioration or chronic kidney disease after the complete primary repair of exstrophy (CPRE).
Study Design: As part of the U.
Purpose: To determine the applicability and long-term outcome of endoscopic injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA) to correct incontinence in patients who had previously undergone continent urinary reconstruction.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed of all patients who underwent Dx/HA injection at our institution from January 2001 to June 2011. All patients had adequate bladder capacity and compliance on maximized medical therapy before injection.
