Abstract
Variants of bladder exstrophy are a rare but diverse spectrum of bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex. This case series describes a group of 4 unique exstrophy variant cases who had an intact phallus, but a completely open bladder plate. These patients underwent exstrophy repair and concomitant umbilicoplasty at the Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad as part of the US-India Multi-institutional Bladder Exstrophy Collaboration and were followed at the same institution. We believe that a detailed assessment of bladder neck prior to reconstructive repair and bladder closure would be beneficial in these cases as the extent of bladder neck involvement would affect reconstructive approach.
