Epispadias

Surgical repair of epispadias is recommended. Leakage of urine (incontinence) is not uncommon and may require a second operation.

Surgical repairs generally produce both continence (the ability to control the flow of urine) and a good cosmetic outcome.

Persistent urinary incontinence can occur in some people even after multiple operations. Also upper urinary tract (ureter and kidney) damage as well as infertility may occur.

Call your health care provider if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's genitourinary tract appearance or function.
