Abstract
- The operations involved in the repair of complete bladder exstrophy (CBE), familiarly known as the Kelly procedure, evolved over more than 100 years. Through repeated cycles of trial and error, some of the most prominent urologists in the world developed techniques that addressed each of the formidable surgical challenges presented by CBE and epispadias. A key figure is Justin H. Kelly of the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, who made surgery for CBE his life's work. He took the lessons of his surgical predecessors, giants like: Friedrich Trendelenburg, Hugh Hampton Young, John Dees, and Guy Leadbetter, applied techniques for anorectal anomalies from his contemporary Alberto Peña, and saw his procedures improved by the next generation of leaders in paediatric urology that included Phillip Ransley, Peter Cuckow, Patrick Duffy, and John Gearhart. Over his long career, Mr Kelly modified and perfected his eponymous procedure patient-by-patient through a painstaking process of trial-and-error, bearing with his young patients and their families through every heart-breaking complication, and gradually creating the standard operation for children with CBE and epispadias.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
