Traumatic urethral fistula.
An 11-year-old male was passing urine from an opening on the undersurface of the penis as well as from the normal meatal opening. He had passed a calculus per urethra 1.5 years previously. Operative intervention revealed it to be a distal urethral fistula 1 cm proximal to the original meatus. A double-layered repair using local tissue was done, achieving good results.
