RESUMO
The concept of the exstrophy support team is reported. It has extended the care of children with exstrophy into a lifelong continuum of effective assistence, not just by way of medical and surgical interaction but through knowledgeable and sympathetic coordination. There has been a spectacular improvement in over-all lifetime survival and much greater patient interest and appreciation with better followup and maintenance so that we can help quickly and effectively when problems arise. Now that we have achieved an increased longevity for these patients, we must be able to assure them the best possible quality of life.
