AB Bladder  exstrophy  is  rare,  occurring  about  once  in  30  to  50,000  live  births.  Despite  a  devastating  initial  appearance,  because  associated  defects  are  few,  many  with  bladder  exstrophy  lead  near  normal  successful  lives  following  reconstruction.Goals  for  repair  include  providing  urinary  continence  in  both  sexes  and  reconstructing  the  penis  in  males  to  provide  for  standing  micturition  and  vaginal  penetration.Two  approaches,  the  staged  (Hopkins)  repair  and  the  complete  repair  (Mitchell)  are  currently  in  use.If  newborn  closure  is  done  in  early  infancy,  iliac  osteotomy  is  not  always  required.A  dedicated,  experienced,  consistent  team  is  required  to  provide  optimal  results.
