Summary Two patients with bladder extrophy are presented. Both had had corrective surgery in childhood and subsequently presented with recurrent procidentia after a previously unsatisfactory repair operation. Both were treated hysteroscaropexy (a new procedure) which is described in detail and when reviewed 12 months later were symptom‐free with good genital tract support.
