AIMS: To describe the clinical and evolutionary aspects of the primary closure of exstrophy at the CHU Gabriel Touré.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

This was a retrospective and prospective study carried out from January 2014 to December 2019 in all the children admitted and operated on for bladder exstrophy at the CHU Gabriel Touré.

RESULTS

We collected 35 cases of exstrophy, ie25 boys and 10 girls. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.8 months. The bladder plate was both normal and budded, ie 28.6% of cases. Plaque infection was found in 45.7%. A malformation was associated in 34.3% of cases. Primary plaque closure was achieved in all of our patients. Postoperative morbidity was 28.6% of cases and mortality 11.4% of cases.

CONCLUSION

Bladder exstrophy is a rare malformation of the urogenital sphere, its management is complex and its mortality is not null.
