The ultimate goal of surgery, whether in one stage or more, is simple; close the bladder, reconstruct the bladder neck and urethra, and place the unit into a more orthotopic position deep in the pelvis, and establish normal genitalia. Despite significant improvements with the success of bladder exstrophy closure, a patient's ability to volitionally void and achieve urinary continence after initial closure remain an elusive «holy grail» for bladder exstrophy surgeons. After closure many patients will endure persistent urinary incontinence post exstrophy closure. In this review, we will discuss the conservative strategies and surgical options to facilitate continence in our bladder exstrophy patients. Regardless of surgical approach or initial outcome, all patients with bladder exstrophy require lifelong urologic follow-up.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A comprehensive search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL), and citation tracking platforms (Google Scholar and Web of Science) was performed.
