title: [A case of rectal bladder construction by Duhamel procedure for vesical extrophy].
abstract: A 4 year old boy, who underwent 2 times of unsuccessful primary closure of the extrophied bladder at 7 days and 5 months after birth, was treated with construction of a rectal bladder with sigmoid-pull through by Duhamel procedure. Vas deference, seminal vesicles and prostate were not found at the cystectomy operation. Epispadias urethral mucosa was removed and phalloplasty was performed using the ventral hooded foreskin. The results were cosmetically and functionally excellent. He could keep continence and his upper urinary tract was normal at 6 months after the operation.
