The paper presents a case of a boy born with a bladder exstrophy, who underwent several surgical procedures, including bladder augmentation. During the last procedure, the patient received a suprapubic catheter that accidentally slipped out. The epithelized neobladder‐cutaneous fistula resulted in a continent and easily catheterizable abdominal stoma.
