B Treatments

Bladder exstrophy repair involves two surgeries: One to repair the bladder and another to have the pelvic bones attached to each other.

While the patient is pain-free, using general or local anesthesia, an incision is made over the fractured bone.

The new bone can be taken from the patient's own healthy bone (this is called an autograft) or from frozen, donated bone (allograft).

Bone marrow is a soft, fatty tissue inside the bones.

The hair on part of the scalp is shaved.

Tissue from a solid breast mass can be removed by needle biopsy.

Bunion removal surgery may be recommended when other, less invasive treatments (such as switching to shoes with a wide toe box) do not work.
