Their findings, reported in the December 2001 issue of Urology, will enable surgeons to better correct these bone defects that cause the bladder to develop outside of the body.
"We believe surgeons already do a great job," said Children's Center Director of Pediatric Urology John P. Gearhart, MD, who directed the research. "But this information will further help the few surgeons who do this procedure to provide a long-lasting fix for these children."
