Treatment of Bladder Exstrophy(BE)
Surgery is the main treatment for bladder exstrophy. Some children will need many surgeries, done over several years as they are growing and developing. Most children will eventually have full functioning bladders and normal looking genitals.

The first surgery for this condition occurs when the newborn is only a few days old. This initial surgery is a reconstructive one that positions the bladder back inside the body so that it functions correctly and appears normal. Additional surgeries may be performed when a child is older and has bladder control, which is usually around 4 or 5 years of age. This may include surgery to reconstruct genitals and repair pelvic bones, as needed.
