Minimally invasive repair of hypospadiac urethral duplication

Pediatr Surg Int. 2011 Jan;27(1):115-8. doi: 10.1007/s00383-010-2720-4.

Abstract

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with various clinical presentations, and multiple techniques have been described for its repair. We report a 1-year-old boy with hypospadiac urethral duplication who presented with double urinary stream. Voiding cystourethrography, retrograde urethrography, and cystourethroscopy showed the normal-caliber ventral urethra was dominant and the distal dorsal (non-dominant) urethra had a good caliber. Urethral reconstruction was performed with an incision of the adjoining walls of the both urethra in a side-to-side urethrourethrostomy fashion.
