title: Successful pregnancy in a woman after repair of bladder exstrophy.
abstract: Exstrophy of bladder is a rare congenital anomaly. Pregnancy following surgical correction of bladder exstrophy occurred in this woman. Improved techniques in urinary diversion operation have enabled a large number of patients with bladder exstrophy to achieve urinary control. They can live fairly normal lives and some have achieved pregnancy. Case reports of such exist in the literature. The present case is based on the experience of a 28 years old lady who had successful pregnancy and delivery following curative repair of this defect one and a half year ago. A living healthy male baby was delivered by elective cesarean section.
