Abstract
INTRODUCTION Classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) repair report wide variation in success. Given the complexity of CBE care, benefit would be derived from validation of reported outcomes. Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric (NSQIP-P) data, this manuscript evaluates surgical complications for bladder closure and advanced urologic reconstruction in CBE patients. AIM The primary aim of this study was to determine complication rates in the CBE population for bladder closure and advanced urologic reconstruction in national studies compared to single-institutional studies. STUDY DESIGN Pediatric cases and complications were identified in the 2012-2019 NSQIP-P database in CBE patients who had either bladder closure or advanced urologic reconstruction. Bladder closure was further defined as early (<7 days) or delayed (>7 days). Differences were assessed using Fisher's exact test and analysis was conducted using SPSS with significance defined as p-value <0.05. RESULTS 302 patients were included; 152 patients underwent bladder closure, and 150 patients underwent advanced urologic reconstruction. The 30-day complication rate for bladder closure is 30.3% and for advanced urologic reconstruction is 24.0% in the CBC cohort. No differences were found in the rates of NSQIP complications between early and delayed bladder closure, though significant differences (p < 0.001) were found in the rates of blood transfusion (17.9 vs 65.3%). This may be due to the different rates of osteotomy (25.0 vs 48.3%) between early and delayed bladder closure. Rates of readmission are 14.7% and rates of reoperation are 8.0% for advanced urologic reconstruction procedures. Both bladder closure and advanced urologic reconstruction had infectious issues in greater than 10% of the population. DISCUSSION CBE surgeries nationally carry a higher risk of complications than is reported in most institutional studies. Infectious complications occur greater than 10% of the time in both bladder closure and advanced urologic reconstruction, which should be the source of additional study given the inverse relationship infections pose to surgical success in BE patients. A limitation of this study is that the data is derived from Children's hospitals that elect to participate and includes only data from 30 days after a procedure. CONCLUSION CBE complication data for both bladder closure and advanced urologic reconstruction may be underrepresented in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urosymphyseal fistula (USF) is an uncommon but painful and devastating condition typically occurring after radiotherapy for pelvic malignancy, with a delayed diagnosis and a risk of opioid dependence. OBJECTIVE To characterize our institutional experience and determine the impact of intervention for USF on pain control and opioid use. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We evaluated data for 33 adult patients diagnosed with USF and managed at a quaternary institution between 2009 and 2021. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS We assessed chronic opioid use, pain scores, prior therapy for pelvic malignancy, prior endoscopic procedures, microbiology and histology congruence, and postoperative complications. For comparative analyses we used a χ2 test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and a Wilcoxon signed-rank test for continuous variables. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Nearly 94% of the patients had received prior pelvic radiotherapy and >80% occurred in 2016-2021 but were not diagnosed until a median of 10 mo (interquartile range [IQR] 3.5-19.5) following endoscopic procedure(s). Osteomyelitis was suspected in 78.8% of imaging reports and nearly 70% had a positive preoperative urine culture. Over 90% of patients underwent cystectomy, pubic bone debridement or resection, and a soft-tissue pedicle flap. Preoperative urine cultures were concordant with 60% of intraoperative tissue/bone cultures. Histologic osteomyelitis was identified in 85% and concordant with 80% of preoperative imaging. Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications occurred in 15.6%. The median pain score decreased from 4 (IQR 0-8) preoperatively to 0 (IQR 0) postoperatively (p < 0.001). Chronic opioid use decreased from 39.4% to 21.2% (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Pelvic osteomyelitis may complicate USF and commonly manifests with severe, persistent pain. USF incidence may be increasing or at least increasingly recognized, but diagnosis is delayed. Definitive management results in significant improvements in pain perception and a decrease in chronic opioid use. PATIENT SUMMARY We examined features of urinary fistulas, which are abnormal openings or connections between part of the urinary tract and another structure. Patients with a urinary fistula involving the pelvic bones can present with severe pain, but diagnosis of the condition is often delayed. Removal of some pelvic bone with bladder removal or repair can result in a decrease in long-term pain and in the use of opioid drugs for pain relief.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caring for adults with prior paediatric genitourinary reconstruction remains a challenge for adult providers. Reconstructions typically have occurred decades before; surgical records are not always available and patients and families may be unable to convey procedures performed. Spina bifida (SB) patients are vulnerable to cognitive decline which may compound these challenges. Changes in patient body habitus and loss of function may contribute to problems with previous reconstructions. METHODS This is a non-systematic review of the literature and represents expert opinion where data are non-existent. This review focuses on the evaluation and management of complications arising from genitourinary reconstruction in congenital neurogenic bladder patients. RESULTS Common complications experienced by congenital neurogenic bladder patients include recurrent urinary tract infection, incontinence of catheterizable channel and urinary reservoir as well as malignancy as this population ages. Preservation of renal function and prevention of urinary tract infection while optimizing continence are essential guiding principles in the care of these patients. Many of the recommendations, however, are gleaned from available data in the adult spinal cord patient (a more commonly studied population) or the paediatric urologic literature due to limited studies in adult management of such patients. CONCLUSION Close follow-up and vigilance is warranted to monitor for infectious, mechanical and malignant complications while optimizing preservation of the upper urinary tracts and patient quality of life.

Abstract
We report a case of secondary urinary reconstruction of previously separated conjoined twins with exstrophic bladder and urinary incontinence. Patients were male and aged 13-year-old. Twin one had a history of failed enterocystoplasty that extruded and was visible like an exstrophic neobladder. He underwent a procedure to close bladder neck and reconfigure abdominal wall. After the procedure the patient developed a fistula that was treated, but it persisted and, for this reason, a catheterizable pouch was constructed and native bladder was discarded. Twin two required the immediately construction of catheterizable pouch using the Macedo’s technique. Currently, both patients are continent at 4 hour intervals. The mean follow-up was 8 months. Modern continent urinary diversion techniques offer new perspectives and hope for such complex population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the causes of re-augmentation in patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE). METHODS A prospectively maintained institutional database of 1327 exstrophy-epispadias complex patients was reviewed for patients with CBE who underwent more than 1 augmentation cystoplasty (AC) procedure. Data regarding bladder capacities, complications following AC, and reasons for re-augmentation were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 166 patients with CBE underwent AC. Of these, 67 (40.4%) were included in the control group and 17 (10%) patients underwent a re-augmentation. There were several indications for re-augmentation including continued small bladder capacity (17 of 17), inadequate bladder necks (8 of 17), failed rattail augmentation (2 of 17), stomal incontinence (1 of 17), a urethrocutaneous fistula (1 of 17), and an hourglass augmentation (1 of 17). Of note, 5 of the 17 patients (29%) had a re-augmentation procedure with a ureteral reimplantation. The sigmoid colon was the most commonly used bowel segment in the failed initial AC (8 patients), whereas the ileum was the most commonly used segment during re-augmentation (12 patients). In the re-augmentation cohort, the mean amount of bowel used during the first AC procedure was 12 cm (standard deviation [SD] 3.6) compared with 19 cm (SD 5.0) during re-augmentation. The mean amount of bowel used for control group augmentations was 20.8 cm (SD 4). The mean re-augmentation preoperative bladder capacity of 100 mL (SD 60) immediately increased after re-augmentation to 180.8 mL (SD 56.4) (P = .0001). CONCLUSION Bladder re-augmentation is most commonly required in the setting of a small bladder capacity after an initial AC, when an insufficient amount of bowel is used during the first AC procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stomal stenosis is the most common complication after the creation of a continent catheterizable channel (CCC), but is challenging to treat. OBJECTIVE To describe early experience with triamcinolone injection for the treatment of stomal stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients who had undergone a triamcinolone injection (40 mg/ml) for the treatment of stomal stenosis at the present institution. The primary outcome of success was defined as a patient-reported or caregiver-reported return to ease with catheterization, and avoidance of stomal revision or indwelling catheter. The cost of care with various techniques for the treatment of stomal stenosis was also assessed by representing the cost as a percentage of charges for a re-operative Monti ileovesicostomy. RESULTS A total of 22 injections were performed in 18 CCCs of 17 patients. Demographic and clinical data are provided in the Summary Table. Thirteen CCCs (72%) were successfully treated with a single injection. Three patients (10%) required a total of five repeat injections at a median of 5.1 months between injections (IQR, 4.6-12.4). One patient required a stomal revision at 34.9 months after the initial injection, while one patient also required a Chait cecostomy catheter. The median length of time for ease with catheterization was 11.6 months (IQR, 3.5-18.0) after the initial injection, and 10.4 months (IQR, 4.5-16.0) after any injection. No adverse effects or complications occurred from the injection. There were no variables associated with failure after the initial or any injection on univariate analysis. Represented as a percentage of charges for a reoperative Monti ileovesicostomy, the cost of care was 11.3% for a stomal revision, 5.8% for triamcinolone injection in the operating room, and 0.3% as an office-based procedure. DISCUSSION The success rate for triamcinolone injection favorably compared with other options for the treatment of stomal stenosis. It surpassed the reported success rate of stomal dilation and approached that of stomal revision. Other studies have similarly observed a minimal risk of adverse effects and complications from both topical and intralesional corticosteroids. The limitations of the present study included its retrospective design at a single institution. A larger cohort of patients with a longer follow-up is necessary to determine its long-term durability. CONCLUSIONS Triamcinolone injection was an effective and well-tolerated option for the treatment of stomal stenosis in any cutaneous stoma, thereby avoiding the need for a more invasive and costly stomal revision.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term outcomes are of special concern in children after urinary diversion. In a single institution study we evaluated retrospectively the long-term outcomes of urinary diversion in children, in whom the ileocecal segment had been used, in respect to complications of the efferent segment. METHODS The Mainz pouch was used in 107 children for continent urinary diversion. Indications were neurogenic bladder (53%, 57/107), exstrophy-epispadias complex (25%, 27/107), malignancy (13%, 14/107), and others (9%, 9/107). Continent cutaneous diversion was performed in 95 patients, and 12 patients received bladder augmentation/substitution with a continent cutaneous stoma. As efferent segment, we used the in situ submucosally embedded appendix in 55/107, and an intussuscepted ileal nipple valve in 45/107 patients, other in seven patients. Complication rates and degree of satisfaction with urinary diversion were evaluated by assessing medical records and using follow-up questionnaires. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The median follow-up time was 15.9 years (0.4-27.6 years). There was a significant difference between the stenosis rates of appendical stoma and the intussuscepted ileal nipple valve. In general, 38% of patients (41/107) with a continent cutaneous stoma developed a stoma stenosis at the skin level, with 41% (17/41) of those having recurrent stenoses (2-6×). Of the patients with an appendix stoma, 49% (27/55) developed a stenosis, compared with 20% (9/45) of those with an intussuscepted ileal nipple valve (p < 0.001). In an attempt to reduce the incidence of stenosis, we implemented use of the ACE stopper during the last 2 years, but whether this is successful is subject to further investigations. For surgical treatment of stoma stenosis, reanastomosis of the efferent segment to the skin (n = 37, re-stenosis rate 37%, [14/37]) was superior to endoscopic scar incision (n = 44, re-stenosis rate 59% [26/44], OR 2.4). The overall continence rate was 85% (91/107). At the latest follow-up, 89% (49/55) of patients with an appendix stoma and 82% (37/45) of those with an intussuscepted ileal nipple valve were completely continent. CONCLUSION The in situ submucosally embedded appendix and the intussuscepted ileal nipple valve are reliable continence mechanisms in the long-term median follow-up of nearly 16 years. The stomal stenosis rate is approximately double for the submucosal appendix, likely because of its smaller diameter in comparison with the ileal valve. Although we encountered a high overall rate of complications, the satisfaction rate with the diversion was high (99% [88/89] satisfied or very satisfied patients).

Abstract
Aim The aim of this report is to present a brief review of the current literature on the management of EEC. Case Report A term male neonate presented at birth with classic bladder exstrophy, a variant of the exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC). The defect was covered with sterile silicon gauzes and waterproof dressing; at 72 hours of life, primary closure without osteotomy of bladder, pelvis, and abdominal wall was successfully performed. Discussion EEC incidence is approximately 2.15 per 1,00,000 live births; several urological, musculocutaneous, spinal, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, and gynecological anomalies may be associated to EEC. Initial medical management includes use of occlusive dressings to prevent air contact and dehydration of the open bladder template. Umbilical catheters should not be positioned. Surgical repair stages include initial closure of the bladder and abdominal wall with or without osteotomy, followed by epispadias repair at 6 to 12 months, and bladder neck repair around 5 years of life. Those who fail to attain continence eventually undergo bladder augmentation and placement of a catheterizable conduit. Conclusion Modern-staged repair of EEC guarantees socially acceptable urinary continence in up to 80% of cases; sexual function can be an issue in the long term, but overall quality of life can be good.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enterocystoplasty is an important procedure in the management of children with difficult neurogenic bladder. We report on short-term complications as captured by National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Pediatric. METHODS We analyzed NSQIP Pediatric 30-day perioperative data on 114 patients who underwent enterocystoplasty in 2012 and compared those with and without complications. RESULTS Neurogenic bladder was the most common diagnosis. The proportion of the children who underwent two or more procedures was 71.9%, in addition to enterocystoplasty, most commonly appendicovesicostomy. Median length of hospital stay was 8 days (mean 9.7 days, range 2 to 46 days). Thirty-day complication rate was 33.3%, and the most common complications were urinary tract infections (9.6%), wound complications (8.7%), blood transfusions (6.1%), and sepsis (3.5%). Reoperation rate and readmission rate were 9.6% and 13.2%, respectively. No statistically significant differences in perioperative characteristics were found between children with and without postoperative complications. Addition of appendicovesicostomy or bladder neck continence procedures was not associated with significantly increased complications. CONCLUSION Enterocystoplasty is associated with significant perioperative morbidity, and reasonable expectations should be set during preoperative counseling.
