Transforming Care for Bladder Exstrophy: Innovations in Surgical Repair and Lifelong Comprehensive Support

Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital condition in which the bladder develops outside the fetus, leading to significant challenges with urinary function and quality of life. UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s is proud to introduce its groundbreaking Bladder Exstrophy Program, offering comprehensive, patient-centered care and pioneering surgical techniques - most notably the Kelly repair, a radical soft-tissue mobilization procedure now available in Northeast Ohio.
