Exstrophy and Cloacal Anomaly Clinic

Disorders of bladder and bowel development affect voiding and defecation function. They are often associated with other developmental anomalies including the spinal cord, reproductive organs and external genitalia. The mission of the UC Davis Children’s Hospital Cloacal team is to provide comprehensive care to children and families with the utmost respect, privacy and cutting-edge care available. We are a multi-disciplinary team of surgeons, endocrinologists, geneticists, child psychologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, fetal care specialists and nurses. For questions about our clinic and team, please contact Paula Wagner, N.P., at (916) 734-8482.
