Long-Term Results of Ureterosigmoidostomy in Children with Bladder Exstrophy

The records of 87 children with bladder exstrophy seen between 1912 and 1935 are reviewed. We believe that ureterosigmoidostomy with cystectomy can provide a satisfactory solution to the problem of bladder exstrophy. Furthermore, ureterosigmoidostomy appears suitable from the standpoint of preservation of upper tracts and provides a socially acceptable solution of the question of disposal of the diverted urine.
