Children's Hospital Boston's Center for Bladder Exstrophy Care & Support Group is known internationally for it's preeminent care and support of children with bladder exstrophy and their families.
Bladder exstrophy is a complex congenital anomaly involving the urinary, reproductive and intestinal tracts, as well as the musculoskeletal system. With bladder exstrophy, the abdominal wall and underlying structures do not properly fuse in utero, when the baby is developing, and the infant is born with the bladder exposed inside-out on the outside of the body.
