title: Variants of the exstrophic complex.
abstract: In the split symphysis variant, a rare anomaly of bladder exstrophy, the bladder is closed with varying degrees of skin covering it. A good prognosis does exist for surgically produced continence in patients with a single bladder, although patients with bladder duplication have a greater risk of renal damage.
