Abstract
Study Objective
To report a rare case of urethral duplication (UD) in a 5-year-9-month-old girl and describe the surgical approach and outcomes.
Methods
A 5-year-9-month-old girl presented with postvoid dribbling and clitoral swelling. Physical examination and imaging were performed. During surgery, a fistula tract was identified, dissected, and excised. This tract was found to be a UD extending between the distal urethra and the clitoris. The procedure involved advancing a polypropylene suture through the fistula and observing its course via cystoscopy.
Results
The fistula tract was successfully excised, resolving both the clitoral swelling and dribbling. The patient recovered without complications and showed no recurrence at the 2-month follow-up.
Conclusion
UD, though exceedingly rare in females, should be considered in cases of urinary incontinence. Surgical excision is an effective treatment with favorable outcomes.
