Abstract
The results of the correction of the medial scar depression and diastasis of the pubic hair of the mons veneris in three postpuberal female patients operated on for bladder exstrophy are reported. The reconstructive surgery is carried out using skin expanders. The expanded skin is utilized to create two dermoadipose flaps to fill the medial depression, to outline again the public hair areas, and to allow sutures without tension.
