INTRODUCTION: Detrusor contraction in bladder exstrophy (BE) patients following reconstruction is poorly understood as there are few published studies assessing urodynamic findings in this population. Understanding the ability of the detrusor to contract in BE patients early after closure may be able to inform the longer-term management and potential for the development of future continence in this population. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate early detrusor contraction using urodynamic studies (UDS) in children who had previously undergone complete primary repair of bladder exstrophy (CPRE)...
