Abstract
Purpose
To propose an obstetric management model for patients with congenital bladder exstrophy (BE) and multiple previous surgeries, recognizing the unique anatomical variations of each patient and emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment approaches.
Methods
We present the obstetric management and delivery of a 32-year-old pregnant woman with congenital BE, focusing on antenatal anatomical assessment, accurate delivery planning and key surgical steps during an elective caesarean section. Additionally, we conduct a comprehensive review of the current literature to enhance understanding of the reproductive implications associated with this exceptionally rare condition.
Results
Following urological magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative ultrasound, a successful neobladder-saving caesarean section was performed at 37 weeks, resulting in the delivery of a healthy infant with no maternal complications.
Conclusion
Obstetric management in women with congenital BE presents unique challenges due to its significant impact on urinary and reproductive functions. Careful delivery planning and antenatal anatomical assessment are crucial for optimizing both maternal and fetal outcomes. A personalized, multidisciplinary approach can help minimize potential complications.
