Pediatr Surg Int. 1999 Jul;15(5-6):419-21. doi: 10.1007/s003830050620.

Abstract

Accessory urethra or duplication of the urethra is a rare anomaly. The vast majority occur in the sagittal plane; however, collateral or side-by-side duplications in the absence of bladder duplication also exist. We report six cases of urethral duplications. The mode of presentation and the importance of complete examination are discussed.
