The 2023 International Exstrophy Conference was hosted by Seattle Children’s. Realizing that care for the entire patient – beginning with appropriate surgical counseling and preparation, to psychosocial support and postoperative management – is key to successful outcomes, the sessions focused on the challenges patients and families face through a spectrum of discussions and provide tools to show that BE Doesn’t Limit ME!
A special thank you to the team at Seattle Children’s for capturing the sessions and Gery Deer with GDL Communications for making this content available to our BE community!
