Bilateral iliac osteotomy in symphisis pubis diastasis together with extrophia vesicalis: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Classical exstrophia vesicalis is a rare congenital defect requiring multidisciplinary surgical reconstruction. It is observed with symphysis pubis diastasis in which orthopedic intervention is required. Reducing pubic distance by applying pelvic osteotomy reduces tension in the organs in the lower abdomen. In the presented study, a 13-month-old male patient, who underwent iliac osteotomy with the diagnosis of symphysis pubis diastasis with exstrophia vesicalis, and who was operated together by pediatric surgery and orthopedic departments, and who underwent a second operation due to complications on the 15th day of the post-operation has been discussed as case report along with the literature review.
