    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Megalourethra is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by abnormal development of the anterior urethra.
    • It encompasses two main clinical types: scaphoid and fusiform.
    • Both types involve extensive defects in the formation of the spongiosum urethra.

    Observation:

    • This study presents clinical experience with 5 patients diagnosed with megalourethra.
    • The review emphasizes associated anomalies, diagnostic methods, and surgical timing.
    • Definitive reconstructive surgical techniques are also discussed.

    Findings:

    • Megalourethra involves significant defects in the spongiosum urethra, impacting anterior urethral formation.
    • Associated anomalies require careful evaluation and management alongside the primary condition.

  • Optimal surgical timing and reconstructive approaches are crucial for successful outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding associated anomalies aids comprehensive patient care.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention can improve functional and cosmetic outcomes.
    • Further research into reconstructive techniques may enhance treatment efficacy for megalourethra.
