Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Diphallus is an extremely rare congenital malformation, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 5,000,000 live births.
  • It is characterized by the partial or complete duplication of the penis.
  • Associated anomalies are common and can significantly impact management and prognosis.

Observation:

  • Two recent cases of diphallus managed at our institution are presented.
  • The first patient presented with complete diphallia and imperforate anus.
  • The second patient had incomplete diphallia, a patent urachus, and hydrocoele.

Findings:

  • Complete diphallia with imperforate anus requires complex surgical intervention.
  • Incomplete diphallia with patent urachus and hydrocoele also necessitates tailored surgical approaches.
  • The successful management of these rare cases underscores the importance of individualized treatment strategies.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and comprehensive management are crucial for improving outcomes in diphallus cases.
  • Understanding the spectrum of associated anomalies aids in surgical planning and patient care.
  • Further research into the etiology and optimal surgical techniques for diphallus is warranted.
