Megalourethra is a rare penile birth defect caused by incomplete tissue fusion. This review covers existing literature and presents a surgical technique for correcting this urethral malformation in newborns.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Megalourethra is an uncommon congenital anomaly affecting the penile urethra.
  • It results from deficient fusion of ventral penile mesenchymal tissues.
  • This leads to the characteristic massive urethral dilatation.

Observation:

  • This study reviews the current literature on megalourethra.
  • A case report of a newborn diagnosed with megalourethra is presented.
  • The clinical presentation and diagnostic findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • The review synthesizes existing knowledge on megalourethra etiology and presentation.
  • The case report highlights the surgical management of megalourethra.
  • Emphasis is placed on the specific surgical technique employed for successful resolution.

Implications:

  • This work contributes to understanding megalourethra pathophysiology.
  • It provides valuable insights into surgical treatment options for this rare condition.
  • The presented surgical technique may aid clinicians in managing similar pediatric cases.
