Abstract

Complete urethral duplication is a rare anomaly in boys. About 60 cases have been reported in the literature, of which approximately one-third were managed with a surgical procedure of total excision of the accessory urethra. Another third were managed by partial excision, and the rest were managed conservatively. Here 2 cases are presented, and the surgical treatment is discussed.
