Epispadias

Treatment:

Surgical repair of epispadias is recommended. Leakage of urine (incontinence) may require a second-stage repair.

Expectations (prognosis):

Surgical repair generally results in both continence (the ability to control the flow of urine) and a good cosmetic outcome.

Complications:

Persistent urinary incontinence can occur in some people even after surgery.

Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if you notice any abnormalities of your child's genitalia.
