Pelvic bone surgery for delayed bladder exstrophy repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a surgery called pelvic osteotomy (cutting and realigning the pelvic bone) to help close bladder exstrophy in children who did not have surgery soon after birth. The goal is to improve the success of the repair and help the child have better pelvic support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child has bladder exstrophy and the repair is delayed (not done shortly after birth).
- The child has not had any previous surgery for bladder exstrophy or on the pelvis.
- The child does not have severe health problems that would make surgery unsafe.
- This trial is open to both boys and girls.

This trial studies how safe and effective adjustable balloons in the bladder are for children and teens with bladder exstrophy or isolated epispadias who have urine leakage. It may help reduce incontinence while monitoring bladder and kidney safety.
This study takes small tissue samples during a standard prostate surgery (TURP) to try to grow new bladder lining in the lab. It may help develop future treatments for bladder problems.
This study looks at reconstruction (how tissue is rebuilt) after very large pelvic cancer surgeries. It may help teams improve the options and support for people having these operations and recovery experiences.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (fetal cystoscopy) performed during pregnancy to help male babies with severe bladder obstruction. The goal is to prevent kidney damage and improve outcomes after birth.
This study tests two types of exercises to help children with bladder control problems. It compares standard pelvic floor training with a special exercise approach that may improve how the bladder and muscles work together.
This study tests a new way to rebuild the pelvic floor (the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis) and the wound after surgery to remove the rectum for cancer. The goal is to improve healing and reduce complications after this major operation.
