The authors suggest a new approach to the treatment of patients with exstrophy of the urinary bladder-the formation of an urinary reservoir from a detubulerized intestinal graft after II Kocks' method. This method, as well as its analogues, is mainly used in adults after radical cystectomy. Improved surgical techniques have been suggested on the basis of experimental works which allow the age features and the peculiarities of the functional condition of the formed reservoir to be taken into account. Analysis of the results of clinical use of the suggested method showed it to be effective in solving the problem of rehabilitation of patients with exstrophy of the urinary bladder, which allows it to be recommended as the operation of choice in the management of this developmental anomaly.

Bladder exstrophy-epispadias-cloacal exstrophy complex: characteristics, aetiologies, and epidemiologic findings.

Bladder exstrophy-epispadias-cloacal exstrophy complex (BEEC) is a spectrum of congenital urologic anomalies that involve the bladder, urethra, genitalia, and pelvic musculoskeletal system, and can affect urinary continence, sexual health, and fertility. BEEC includes a wide spectrum of anatomical abnormalities with different levels of severity: epispadias represents the mildest phenotype, classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) is the most common defect, and cloacal exstrophy (CE) - often referred to as omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, and spinal defects (OEIS) complex - is the most severe form. BEEC disorders cause significant health problems and affect the health-related quality of life (QoL) of affected individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Urethral duplication is a rare congenital condition involving an extra urethra, often linked with other anomalies such as bladder exstrophy and renal issues.
- The case presented involves an 8-month-old female with an unusual urinary opening in the prepubic area, confirmed through various diagnostic tests, and successfully treated with surgery to remove the accessory urethra.
- Accurate diagnosis through imaging is crucial, and treatment must be customized based on the specifics of the anomaly; the case emphasizes the need for careful management of urethral duplication.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, New Children's Hospital Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki Helsinki Finland.
Purpose: To evaluate possible problems during pregnancy or delivery in women with pediatric bladder augmentation.
Methods: Eleven of 59 women, who had undergone bladder augmentation in our pediatric hospital during 1990-2019, had given birth in our hospital district afterwards and their obstetrical records were evaluated.
Results: Median age at first delivery was 32 years (range 26-42).
Pathophysiology of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract: A Comprehensive Review.

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) represent a broad range of diseases with differing mechanisms, clinical presentations, and prognoses. With an estimated prevalence of between 4 and 60 per 10,000 births, CAKUT represents a sizable number of patients for pediatric and adult nephrologists as therapies have progressed, allowing longer life spans. Many CAKUT disorders are associated with genetic mutations, and with advances in genomic sequencing, these genes are being identified at an increasing rate.

Background: Exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) classically presents as bladder exstrophy (BE) and requires lifetime urologic care. As men and women with BE age, there is an often difficult period of transition to adulthood in terms of addressing urologic and general health challenges. BE can lead to many urinary and sexual health issues as these patients age, which is often made more complex given their past surgical history and anatomy.
