Abstract
Duplication of the male urethra is an uncommon congenital malformation. The majority of cases are diagnosed during infancy, and are detected by observing two urethral meatus, or by the appearance of some form of complication, normally of an obstructive nature. Micturitional cystourethrography is an essential test, both in confirming diagnosis of this pathology, and in determining the type of urethral duplication. Excretory urography is also recommended due to its association with other possible urological and extra-urological congenital disorders. Treatment is based on the patient’s clinical symptoms, with a waiting period considered advisable for asymptomatic cases.Here we present a case of incomplete urethral duplication, diagnosed from a bladder outlet obstruction, secondary to stenosis of the urethra, which was treated with an endoscopic urethrotomy and distal septotomy, obtaining excellent clinical results.
