Bladder Extrophy Research Articles

Extrophy of the urinary bladder.

Extrophy of the urinary bladder is a rare congenital anomaly first described in ancient times, and which C.H. Mayo (1919) called “the most serious and troublesome of all human defects to contend with”. The condition occurs once in every 30,000 or 40,000 live births, and is more common in males than females. It poses a challenging and fascinating problem in management for the surgeon and has accumulated an extensive literature. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief review of the disorder with emphasis upon treatment.

Colonic neoplasia: a late complication of ureterosigmoidostomy.

The development of tumours adjacent to ure-terosigmoidostomies is brought to attention. The literature on this subject is reviewed. To those previously reported we add three cases with development of cancer in the colon 20, 36 and 40 years after urinary diversion because of bladder extrophy. The need for vigilance concerning obstructive symptoms is stressed and the possibility of regular controls suggested.

Contribution to the operative treatment of bladder extrophy

The technique is described by which the extrophied bladder is covered by cutaneous flap. At the same time an urethral canal is formed and the penile deformity corrected. The histologic appearance of the bladder mucosa covered for 8 years with cutaneous flap is shown.

Renal Physiology in Infants and Children. II. Inulin Clearances in Newborn Infant with Extrophy of Bladder

Interest in the renal function of newborn infants has been aroused by recent studies which indicate that the glomerular filtration rate is relatively low during the newborn period. The application of a method devised by one of us1 to 7 apparently normal full-term infants ranging in age from 4 to 9 days suggested glomerular filtration rates between 20 and 40% of the average normal adult values. McCance and Young2 have since published an extensive study of renal function of newborn infants, in which are included observations on inulin clearances in 3 infants, aged 6 to 13 days, with meningoceles. Urine collections were made by means of catheterization, and the determined inulin clearances were of the order of 43% of the average adult value. These workers pointed out that the inulin clearances varied considerably with the minute urine volumes. In addition, they observed corresponding changes in urea clearances. Gordon, Harrison, and McNamara,3 determining urea clearances in premature and full-term infants ra...
