Abstract
An anatomical repair of bladder exstrophy was done in ten patients (six females and four males, aged 1.5–6 months. We describe our method of exstrophy with epispadias repair done in a single stage achieving anatomical closure including relocating skin from an infraphallic to a supraphallic position. The cosmetic and functional results are evaluated. The advantages of this technique are described.
