COMPLETE DUPLICATION OF URETHRA: A RARE ANOMALY
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
True duplication of male urethra whether in conjunction with single or double penis is a rare anomaly. Slightly less common are those accessory channels, by which their reasons of length are clearly distinguishable from small blind pits encountered on the glans penis, and around which controversy has raged as to whether be regarded as urethral homologues. Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly, mainly affecting boys. Generally, the duplication develops on the saggital plane; the accessory urethra may run dorsally or ventrally to the orthotopic one. The embryology of this pathology is still controversial. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Optimal knowledge of the duplication is significant for the managing surgeon in order to avoid complications. The overall outcome is good.
