Abstract

The paper presents a case of a boy born with a bladder exstrophy, who underwent several surgical procedures, including bladder augmentation. During the last procedure, the patient received a suprapubic catheter that accidentally slipped out. The epithelized neobladder-cutaneous fistula resulted in a continent and easily catheterizable abdominal stoma.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
