Bladder agenesis is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence of 1 in 600,000 [1,2]. Patients born with bladder agenesis carry a poor prognosis due to its association with renal impairment and defects of other organ systems, including the reproductive tract, vascular system, and neurologic system [2-4]. About 90% of those born with bladder agenesis are female, with an estimated female-to-male ratio of 30:1 [1,2]. Herein, we present two cases of bladder agenesis and one case of bladder dysgenesis in female patients; two underwent successful ileal neobladder creation and one underwent incontinent colonic conduit creation.
