“…Correction of the abdominal flaccidity improves abdominal strength and, as a result, it ameliorates constipation and bladder emptying [15,20]. Abdominal appearance and tonus were improved in 90% of the children after the primary surgery and 100% after reoperation.…”

“…The timing of this procedure was dictated by the need for other surgical procedures, particularly orchiopexy and urinary tract reconstruction. Three children were initially submitted to Erlich's technique and two to Randolph's repair [1], but in all 39 subsequent children, abdominoplasty was performed with the modified technique, which has previously been described [15].…”

“…Additionally, in many cases, abdominoplasty is performed for aesthetic or psychosocial reasons, aiming to improve intra-abdominal pressure. As a consequence, pulmonary, intestinal, bladder, and postural functions are also improved [6,[25][26][27][28].…”

Introduction: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a congenital disorder characterized by injury or hypoplasia of the abdominal wall musculature, severe urinary tract abnormalities, and bilateral cryptorchidism in males. It has an estimated incidence of 1 in 40,000 live births. Life expectancy is low, and most affected individuals do not survive for more than one year. About 30% of survivors develop chronic renal failure and require a kidney transplant. Case Report: A male patient, delivered by cesarean section at 39 weeks of gestation, presented with respiratory failure, anuria, flaccid abdomen, bilateral cryptorchidism, and heartbeat with absence of abdominal muscle movements at delivery. Ultrasound of kidneys and urinary tract showed bilateral obstructive hydronephrosis, dilated ureters with tortuous aspect, and bladder partially full with normal wall thickness, suggesting low obstruction.

“…Treatment of prune belly syndrome primary involves surgical procedures to correct the undescended testes, reconstructing the urinary tract and abdominoplasty [ 17 , 18 ]. Due to a significant prevalence of end stage renal disease in the prune belly population [ 19 ], kidney transplantation [ 20 ] has also been proposed as part of the management.…”

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized in males by a triad of anomalous genitourinary tract, deficient development of abdominal wall muscles, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Although similar anomalies have been reported in females, by definition they do not full fill the classical triad. Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSM) is a lethal condition characterized by presence of ambiguous genitalia, absent perineal openings (urogenital and anal), and lumbosacral abnormalities. In this original case report, the authors discuss the presentation and management of what would be analogous to a Woodhouse category 1 PBS in a female newborn associated with an overlapping presentation of URSM.
