Cuidados al recién nacido con extrofia vesical

Abstract

Bladder exstrophy is a rare defect in the closure of the abdominal wall, within the exstrophy-epispadias complex responsible for the congenital malformation of the genitourinary system. It requires the assistance of the newborn in a specialized institution, given the specificity of the surgical-reparative treatment.

The newborn and his family need monitoring and ac- companiment by a multidisciplinary health team from

the moment of birth to adulthood, in order to achieve an adequate quality of life.

This article addresses nursing care in the neonatal pe- riod, focused on biological, psycho-emotional and so- cial needs to guarantee a favorable evolution.
