Tubularised Incised Plate Urethroplasty is an Applicable Method for the Treatment of the Hypospadiac Type of Urethral Duplication

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually seen in males and, in rare cases, in females. Several different anatomical variations have been described. Sagittal localisation is the most common type of urethral duplication that usually develops as an isolated malformation. Coronal duplications, on the other hand, are rarer and are found in association with bladder duplications (1). Almost all of the female patients with urethral duplications also have double bladders (2). The duplicated urethra is often incomplete and remains dorsal to the true urethra in the sagittal plane. The ventral meatus (generally supplying the urinary outflow as a true urethral opening) may be located at any point on the ventral side of the penis. We present a case of hypospadiac type incomplete duplicated urethra treated by a tubularised incised plate urethroplasty technique.
