Abstract

A 37-day-old boy presented with a duplicated penis. Examination revealed presence of two penises, one dorsally located and one ventrally, a large left inguinal hernia and absent right thumb. Abdominal ultrasound and micturating cystourethrogram showed normal kidneys, a single urinary bladder, and partial urethral duplication with no vesicoureteric reflux. The patient was subjected to a new technique, reconstructing the penis without removal of corporal tissue, and therefore not compromising its size. A satisfactory result was achieved. The case is being reported due to its rarity and different surgical approach, in contrast to previous reports of management of diphallia involving excision of one of the penises.
