Abstract
The authors report three cases of pregnancy in women treated for bladder ex strophy. Based on a review of the literature, and the follow-up of these ca ses, the aim of this study was to determine the prognosis of pregnancy. whi ch is currently possible due to the progress in antibiotherapy and surgery. Nevertheless. these pregnancies need to be carefully followed-up. not only because of the complications that may occur to the mother and the infant, but also because of the type of delivery involved.
