What is Kelly procedure?
The Kelly procedure (also called a soft tissue reconstruction of the bladder neck) uses existing muscle and soft tissue to create a ring of muscle that acts like a sphincter. This holds urine in the bladder allowing it to stretch and gain more capacity and also helps form a strong stream of urine when weeing.
What is Kelly’s repair?
Kelly’s repair involves the radical mobilization of the internal and external sphincter muscles of the bladder and urethra to achieve continence; a study done in Australia reported a 75% success rate in managing patients with this procedure [13] .
What is the exstrophy of bladder?
Bladder exstrophy (EK-stroh-fee) is a rare birth defect in which the bladder develops outside the fetus. The exposed bladder can’t store urine or function normally, resulting in urine leakage (incontinence). Problems caused by bladder exstrophy vary in severity.
What defect is associated with exstrophy of the bladder?
The bladder exstrophy-epispadias-cloacal exstrophy complex is caused by a developmental abnormality that occurs 4-5 weeks after conception in which the cloacal membrane is not replaced by tissue that will form the abdominal muscles. The underlying cause of this error in development is not known.
What is TOT surgery?
Tension-free vaginal sling procedures: transobturator tape procedure (TOT) is a treatment for urodynamically proven stress incontinence in women. TOT is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the placement of a small piece of polypropylene mesh around the pubic bones underneath the urethra.

What is Colposuspension procedure?
About colposuspension These are your pelvic floor muscles and the ring of muscle (sphincter) that holds your bladder closed. In colposuspension, your surgeon lifts the neck of your bladder into the correct position and holds it in place with stitches. This helps to prevent urine from leaking.
Can bladder exstrophy be cured?
Complete repair. This procedure is called complete primary repair of bladder exstrophy. Complete repair surgery is performed in a single procedure that closes the bladder and the abdomen and repairs the urethra and outer sex organs. This can be done soon after birth, or when the baby is around two to three months old.
Why does bladder exstrophy happen?
Bladder exstrophy is a congenital (present at birth) abnormality of the bladder. It happens when the skin over the lower abdominal wall (bottom part of the tummy) does not form properly, so the bladder is open and exposed on the outside of the abdomen. In epispadias, the urethra does not form properly.
What is transobturator sling?
Definition: Transobturator Sling is a surgical procedure that uses a narrow strip of permanent mesh to correct stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
What is Perineorrhaphy repair?
Perineorrhaphy means suturing of the perineum, and is sometimes used synonymously with perineoplasty, which means surgical repair of the perineum. Many textbooks describe a perineorrhaphy as approximation of the perineal body in some fashion [1, 2].
What is colporrhaphy surgery?
Colporrhaphy, also known as vaginal wall repair, is a surgical procedure performed to correct defects in the vaginal wall, or pelvic-organ prolapse, including cystoceles and rectoceles.
What is the Kelly procedure for bladder exstrophy?
This page from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) explains the Kelly procedure used to construct and strengthen the sphincter at the bladder neck following the initial closure of bladder exstrophy and what to expect when your child is admitted to GOSH for the operation. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, the bladder and ureters.
How did Mr Kelly improve the capacity of the bladder?
Mr Kelly closed the bladder with small, closely placed absorbable sutures rather than wider bites of tissue that tended to bunch and tighten the bladder wall. Once sphincteric function was restored using the techniques described in a later section, to Mr Kelly’s surprise the capacity of the bladder increased dramatically.
What is radical soft-tissue mobilization for complete bladder exstrophy?
Introduction Justin H. Kelly of the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne created the radical soft-tissue mobilization (RSTM) procedure for complete bladder exstrophy (CBE), one of the most challenging conditions in paediatric urology.
Which hospitals offer the Kelly procedure?
The Kelly procedure is a highly specialised operation and currently, GOSH is the only hospital in the world to offer it. Other hospitals may offer different methods of bladder neck reconstruction.
