The bladder exstrophy complex represents a spectrum of severe congenital malformations which range from epispadias, an isolated penile abnormality, to classic cloacal exstrophy, one of the most severe abnormalities compatible with life. In this chapter the authors have provided an extract of the expertise developed in the treatment of this conditions at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital following the centralisation of the treatment of exstrophy in the UK in 1999.
