Duplication of the male urethra: report of three cases

Abstract

Three cases of urethral duplication are added to about 200 cases already reported in the literature. Two cases are of complete duplication of the male urethra. A case of incomplete duplication is also described, presenting, unusually, following an episode of trauma. Diagnosis was made by micturating cystourethrography and retrograde urethrography. Because of the association of other abnormalities of the urinary tract, further investigations should be undertaken. Therapy is required only in exceptional cases.
