Abstract

Exstrophy of bladder in adults is extremely rare, since such anomalies are usually underwent surgery in early childhood. Difficulties in the treatment of adult patients are associated with severe long-term changes of the mucosa and surrounding tissues, chronic urinary infection, as well as a large diastasis between pubic bones and inefficiency of osteotomy. The article describes the methodology and results of the surgery in a patient 33 years old with exstrophy-epispadias after failed previous interventions. During the follow-up period of more than 5 years, there were no complications related to continent reservoir, reconstruction of the anterior abdominal wall, and urinary infection. Decrease in renal function was not observed. Thus, the cystectomy with formation of continent reservoir from the ileum is accompanied by a good functional and cosmetic results. Resection of vesical plate is justified due to severe long-term changes of the mucosa and the surrounding skin, as well as a high risk of malignancy. The use of polypropylene ? allows to reconstruct the anterior abdominal wall without osteotomy and provides a sufficient degree of its strengthening.
