Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Urogenital sinus anomalies are complex congenital conditions.
  • These anomalies can present with various external genital abnormalities.
  • Management often requires specialized surgical approaches.

Observation:

  • A female patient presented with a rare urogenital sinus anomaly.
  • The anomaly included an accessory phallic urethra and a giant diverticulum.
  • Stenosis of the accessory urethral meatus contributed to the diverticulum's unusual features.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a unique presentation of a female urogenital sinus anomaly.
  • Surgical intervention involved complete repair of the complex anatomy.
  • The procedure successfully reconstructed the labia minora using diverticulum tissue.
