Foreword

My fascination with congenital anomalies dates back to my time as a bright-eyed medical student and the correlation of how a seemingly small embryological miscue could lead to a major anatomical defect. The excitement of restoring form and func­tion as I rotated on the surgical services propelled me to a career in urology and perhaps no clearer example between embryological maldevelopment and eventual anatomic anomaly exists than with the exstrophy-epispadias complex.
Driven to pursue reconstructive pediatric urology, I was fortunate to learn from Sir Herbert Johnston, one-half of the duo that founded the specialty of pediatric urology in the United Kingdom, at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, England, the rst center to successfully close a child with cloacal exstrophy, and have him survive, in 1965. After completing additional training in pediatric surgical techniques, I truly believed I would return to Georgia and begin practice in pediatric urology; however, as fate—or a serendipitous plan by Robert Jeffs and Patrick C.Walsh—my plan and subsequent career was rerouted to Baltimore, MD.
I arrived at Johns Hopkins on February 1, 1985, and was fortunate to benet from the knowledge and mentorship Bob (a pioneering surgeon and a founding father of pediatric urology in North America) offered in complex congenital genito­urinary disorders. Though care for exstrophy at Johns Hopkins dated back to the 1920s with Hugh Hampton Young, Bob was the rst to really establish a dedicated unit of excellence at Johns Hopkins specically, and only, designated for children with exstrophy or epispadias. While he had established his multi-staged approach in the 1970s, with this now high-volume center, we worked to rene it and always sought to improve it. In 1996, I was fortunate, and humbled, to succeed him as Director of Pediatric Urology.
This second addition of The Exstrophy-Epispadias Complex, a book I originally edited with Dr. Ranjiv Mathews back in 1999, is more than a collection of authors and articles; it is the representation of many individuals’ tireless work. Though my life’s work has been the treatment and correction of the anatomical insult in exstro­phy, I very much view the congenital spectrum with the same bright-eyed awe as I

Foreword

I had the good fortune to be Dr. Hendren’s second Fellow in Pediatric Urology. It was the period when Dr. Hendren was Chief of Pediatric Surgery at the MGH (later he was to become Chief at Boston Children’s). He was a master surgeon and his teachings focused on the complex reconstruction of urologic malformations and form the basics of complete primary repair of exstrophy. Dr. W.Leadbetter (of ure­teral reimplant) appreciated the surgical talent of Dr. Hendren and supported his active involvement in the training of pediatric urologic residents which included training Pediatric Urology Fellows. As Chief, of Pediatric Surgery, Dr. Hendren did it all, megaureter repairs, hypospadias, ureteral reimplants, and exstrophy closures (many as one stage procedures). Dr. Hendren trained only three Pediatric Urology Fellows at the MGH, but many after returning to Boston Children’s.
I was fortunate to be one of those fellows and lifelong interest in bladder exstro­phy was ignited. My observation of this anomaly has conrmed for me that bladder exstrophy presents on a spectrum, and whether a baby presents with cloacal exstro­phy, bladder exstrophy, or penopubic epispadias depends on the timing of the pre­mature rupture of the infra-umbilical membrane in relation to the descent of the urorectal septum.
While my preference developed for the complete primary repair of exstrophy, as surgeons we can only try to establish “normal anatomy” and anticipate that “nor­mal” physiology will follow. We must recognize that likelihood of “normal” func­tion depends in large part on where the exstrophy anomaly sits on the spectrum between cloacal exstrophy and epispadias.
I am pleased that this book dedicated to bladder exstrophy is bringing together today’s surgeons that are committed to taking the baton and continuing to make strides in understanding, caring for, and advocating for children affected by exstro­phy. I do hope that it is informative for the reader, and ideally, will ignite a passion in caregivers as Dr. Hendren did in me in those early days of my career in Boston.

Preface

Every book has an origin story, and this book’s antecedents beg the reader’s indul­gence in sharing some recollections.
Nearly two decades ago, we met for the rst time in an ofce that sat astride a small patient holding area, directly across the entrance to a solitary operating room that held two operating tables arrayed in parallel. We stood in a ward among the labyrinthine corridors of one of the largest hospitals in Asia, the Civil Hospital­Ahmedabad, a safety-net and tertiary hospital serving the 60 million inhabitants of India’s state of Gujarat. Aseem, visiting from Minneapolis, was accompanied by the already well-known bladder exstrophy expert surgeon from Seattle, Richard Grady. Across the table sat Rakesh, a pediatric surgeon at Civil Hospital, and a partner to the host that day, Atul Thakre, who had recently completed a pediatric urology fel­lowship and was embarking on a practice at Civil Hospital.
That patient holding area across from the ofce reverberated with the giggles and cries of a dozen children with bladder exstrophy at various stages—primary, failed, and complex variants—in the laps of their bewildered parents, looking expectantly for a solution to an anomaly they could not understand, but would bear out of their love for their child.
Beholding that gaggle of children that day in 2009—more than we might see at an American children’s hospital in an entire year—Richard and Aseem, joined in ensuing years by pediatric anesthesiologist Anjana Kundu, Cincinnati’s Pramod P. Reddy, Civil Hospital’s own Jaishri Ramji, Toronto’s Joao Luiz Pippi Salle, Seattle’s Paul A. Merguerian, and Philadelphia’s Douglas Canning and Dana Weiss, each a co-editor of this compendium, committed to returning every year to work together at Civil Hospital to surgically repair, research, and teach bladder exstrophy and epispadias surgery. The care for these children is possible only because of the expert faculty, residents, administration, nurses, and entire tireless staff of Civil Hospital for welcoming, nurturing, and hosting the annual gathering. Our growing cohort of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, advocates, and affected families soon took on an appellation: the International Bladder Exstrophy Collaborative (IBEC).
As IBEC grew—the cohort now includes close to 300 children with bladder exstrophy and epispadias—and our research endeavors began grappling with funda­mental questions about technique and outcomes with dozens of pediatric urologists from around the world descending on Ahmedabad to immerse in the annual IBEC workshop, the contours of this book were contemplated.

Preface
The venerable authority on bladder exstrophy, Dr. John Gearhart last edited a book dedicated to bladder exstrophy in 1999, which he published with Springer Nature. We are honored that this successor book to Dr. Gearhart’s pioneering effort is also hosted by the same Springer Nature in making this present effort a reality. We sincerely hope that this book conveys the advances in bladder exstrophy embryology, radiological diagnosis, and genetics and comprehensively shares—with vivid vid­eos—the nuances of the modern staged repair, complete primary repair, and radical soft tissue mobilization (Kelly repair) approach to repairing bladder exstrophy and penopubic epispadias. We also explore long-term concerns of exstrophy such as incontinence, cosmesis, sexual function, and most importantly, how our efforts, as physicians, impact a patient’s sense of self and satisfaction. This book also offers the perspective on the critical role of nursing and also that of caregivers and advocates.
A book comes to fruition only with a legion of support. We are indebted rstly to the courageous children and caregivers affected by the rare and devastating anomaly of bladder exstrophy and epispadias. It is their hopes, aspirations, and indefatigable smiles in the face of immense adversity that inspire us as every day as practitioners, and whose wellness is the North Star to this effort.
We are grateful to Dr. Michael Mitchell and Dr. John Gearhart, living legends who have transformed the lives of children with bladder exstrophy not only as sur­geons but as dogged perfectionists and students of their discipline, spending careers articulating their chosen approaches to exstrophy surgery while setting the highest bar in elucidating outcomes with honesty and transparency. We are honored to have their reections as a preface to this book. We are profoundly thankful to our co­editors—each of whom is a surgical leader of IBEC—for sharing in this undertak­ing, and every chapter author and co-author without whose exhaustive effort and willingness to share their precious time and expertise, this book would not exist. Our deep appreciation to the efforts of our editors with Springer Nature, Priyanka Dey, and Paige Ripperger, whose daily nudges became a xture of our inbox to ensure completion of this undertaking.
To Suhag, Parth, and Nimai: thank you for your love. And thank you for your encouragement, patience, and endurance in the face of another weekend of, “Can’t help around the house, have this book to nish!”
To Rima, Vidhi, and Dev: thank you for your unconditional love and everlasting support despite extended working hours balancing the responsibilities of a pediatric surgery department and Medical Superintendent duties at Civil Hospital.
Atul Thakre, Richard Grady, and Doug Canning wrote the rst chapters of the IBEC story, but fate determined that they would not write the epilogue. Their joyful spirit animates and suffuses the totality of this book—every written word, each chap­ter and video—and they continue to gently guide our hands whenever we embark on the care of an affected child. Doug’s dictum—start with the child and go out from there, is our IBEC motto. This book is dedicated to their eternal spirit. Om Sadgati.
