Congenital Bladder Exstrophy and Early-Onset Uterine Prolapse in Adolescence: A Case Report of Successful Surgical Management
摘要
Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly affecting multiple systems, often leading to pelvic organ prolapse in adolescence. Its prevalence is 1 per 50,000 live births.
CaseWe report a case of a 16-year-old girl with congenital bladder exstrophy, repaired during the neonatal period with the Mitrofanoff procedure, presenting with third-degree uterovaginal prolapse. Despite normal urinary function through self-catheterization, she experienced progressive prolapse over 3 years. Surgical correction using vaginal sacrospinous fixation successfully resolved her symptoms, with no complications.
ConclusionThis case highlights the challenges of managing uterovaginal prolapse in young patients with bladder exstrophy and the effectiveness of uterus-preserving surgical interventions like sacrospinous fixation.
