Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with varied presentations.
  • Understanding its spectrum is crucial for effective surgical management.

Observation:

  • Three cases of urethral duplication were analyzed: two complete and one incomplete.
  • Surgical interventions were performed in two cases, with one awaiting definitive treatment.

Findings:

  • An incomplete duplication involved excision of the accessory urethra and preputial hood.
  • A novel end-to-side urethrourethrostomy and penile plastic revision were employed for complete duplication.
  • A new classification system for urethral duplication was proposed based on literature review.

Implications:

  • The proposed classification system may standardize the understanding and reporting of urethral duplication.
  • Surgical techniques described offer potential solutions for complex cases of urethral duplication.
  • Further research is needed to validate the proposed classification and surgical outcomes.
