Abstract

Urinary continence can be achieved in up to 90% of patients with bladder exstrophy. However, select patients remain incontinent despite modern reconstruction. Repeat operations for continence combined with the congenital pelvic abnormalities of exstrophy put patients at risk for urinary fistula formation. We report the use of a rectus muscle flap in the repair of two concomitant vesicocutaneous and urethrocutaneous fistulae in a patient with classic bladder exstrophy.
