Disease relevance of Epispadias

• Submucosal bladder neck injections of glutaraldehyde cross-linked bovine collagen for the treatment of urinary incontinence in patients with the exstrophy/epispadias complex [1].
• The patient with minor prolapse was treated with reclosure with bilateral innominate and vertical iliac osteotomy, and reclosure with epispadias repair under testosterone stimulation [2].
• PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven children (aged 8-12 years) who had undergone a staged reconstruction for EEC (six with classical bladder exstrophy, one with incontinent epispadias) were treated with intranasal desmopressin for persistent nocturnal incontinence despite daytime dryness [3].

High impact information on Epispadias

• CONCLUSIONS: Dorsal skin closure using lateral rotation of ventral penile skin flap improves cosmesis after epispadias repair and eliminates the recurrence of chordee secondary to midline dorsal scarring [4].

Chemical compound and disease context of Epispadias

• Epispadias repair can usually be performed at the same time and is facilitated by prior testosterone administration [5].
• Glutaraldehyde cross-linked bovine collagen in exstrophy/epispadias complex [6].

Anatomical context of Epispadias

• The patient in whom the pubis was separated and the urethra was lost underwent reclosure, epispadias repair and combined osteotomy under testosterone stimulation [2].
