Sinopsis

This book contains the most up-to-date scientific information on the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the bladder muscle, nerves, and collagen in the patient with bladder exstrophy. In addition, this book covers the most modern surgical treatment of the infant born with bladder exstrophy and those who fail initial reconstruction. Chapters are contributed by major children's centers throughout the world. The aims of this book are to familiarize both the resident and the experienced practitioner with the most modern methods for the treatment for bladder exstrophy and epispadias. This book deals with the function, innervation, and pathophysiology of the bladder muscle in the patient born with bladder exstrophy. New concepts from leading laboratories around the world regarding the function of the bladder are discussed. In addition, experts offer their advice, expertise, and thoughts concerning the management of the patient born with bladder exstrophy. This book is intended for researchers who are interested in both the innervation, structure and function of bladder muscle and for pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, and both adult and pediatric urologists who deal with patients from birth until adult life who are born with bladder exstrophy.

Reseña del editor

The undertaking of the treatment of an infant born with bladder exstrophy is one of the most weighty responsibilities that can fall upon the shoulders of the reconstructive sur­ geon. The modern treatment of a child born with bladder exstrophy began in the mid- 1970's with the widespread application of staged reconstruction. This approach has consistently yielded very good results in several series. However, as in all serious congeni­ tal birth defects, there is certainly room for advancement. Issues such as the routine use of osteotomy, timing and type of epispadias repair, combining bladder closure with epispadias repair, the approach to the small bladder, and the management of a failed exstrophy still remain. This National Institute of Health/Na­ tional Kidney Foundation/Johns Hopkins-sponsored seminar was an attempt to bring ex­ perts in the field of pediatric orthopedic surgery, pediatric urology, pediatric surgery, adult urology, and basic science together to share their experiences in an attempt to foster new clinical and basic science research communications between the participants. If these col­ laborations result, then this first international meeting will have been successful. The editors would like to thank all of the contributors for their timely and complete submissions.
