| description | Abstract Background Duplication of urethra is a very rare congenital disorder. Several types of this anomaly have been reported around the world, and are also discussed in this report. However, the mechanism of this anomaly is still unclear. Case A 45-year-old Persian man with a complaint of recurrent urinary tract infection was referred to our clinic. He had a history of repairing penoscrotal hypospadias in childhood along with obstructive and irritating symptoms in adolescence. On his last voiding cystourethrogram and retrograde urethrogram, stenosis was observed in the proximal bulbar urethra along with a double urethra in the dorsal region of the main urethra. The double urethra was removed with operation, and he was followed for 1 month after surgery. He had no complaints of recurrence or urinary incontinence. Conclusions This report shows the different classification systems, types of double urethra, and approach and management, which mainly involves surgery; however, surgical management should be done according to the anatomical findings of the abnormality. |
