Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of intraoperative stereotactic imaging of the pelvic floor musculature during closure of bladder exstrophy.

Conditions

  • Bladder Exstrophy

Interventions

DEVICE

Intraoperative stereotactic imaging with VectorVision

Surgeon will use intraoperative stereotactic imaging with VectorVision® Cranial Guided Image System by Brainlab Inc. to assist in bladder exstrophy closure. Prior to the operation a team consisting of pediatric urologist, pediatric radiologists, and a VectorVision rep will use pre-operative MRI to map out specific bony and muscular structures of the pelvic floor. Doing so will allow the pediatric urologist to use these markers intraoperatively to help guide his closure and also allow for future surgeons who use this technology to understand the correct planes to develop for the same surgery.
