Successful surgical excision of the accessory urethra in a 13-year-old boy with Effmann Type IIA-2 urethral duplication. Case report and literature review.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Urethral duplication is a congenital anomaly characterized by the partial or full development of an auxiliary urethra as a second urethral channel varying in extent and location. The course of treatment for urethral duplication should be individualized for each patient based on the type of anomaly and the existence of symptoms. In most cases, if the ventral orthotopic urethra is normal, excision of the dorsal auxiliary urethra is almost always curative.
