Complete duplication of the penis - A case report

Saidanvar Agzamkhodjayev et al. Urol Case Rep. .

Abstract

Penile duplication is a very rare urological entity. It may be associated with other congenital conditions such as urogenital, GI tract and musculoskeletal anomalies. Properly classifying the condition may dictate the final treatment options. Our current case is the complete true duplication in which we performed side-to-side urethra-urethral anastomosis. We spared the posterior urethra as it may end up with postoperative urinary incontinence.

Keywords: Congenital anomaly; Diphallia; Penile duplication; Ultrasonography of the kidneys ureters and bladder, (USG KUB).
