Duplication of the urethra.
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.
