Abstract
In patients born with bladder exstrophy, the umbilicus is attached to the upper margin of the bladder, and reconstructive surgery of the urinary tract often removes the navel. Both the genital tract and abdominal wall must be reconstructed. The author describes his technique into tubularization of a U-shaped skin flap 2–3 cm wide and 2 cm long depending on the patient size, rather than using the buried skin strip method.
