Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital condition where the bladder is formed outside the body instead of inside the abdomen. This occurs during fetal development when the lower abdominal wall does not close properly. As a result, the bladder is exposed, and the surrounding structures, such as the pelvic bones and urethra, may also be affected. Children born with bladder exstrophy often require surgical intervention shortly after birth to reconstruct the bladder and close the abdominal wall. Ongoing medical care is essential to manage potential complications, including urinary incontinence and infections, and to support the child's overall health and development.
