Urethral multiplicity in boys: systematic review of case reports and case series from the last 15 years.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Urethral multiplicity is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of two or more urethral channels. It is more common in males and can cause double urinary stream, incontinence, obstruction, and recurrent urinary infections. Diagnosis is difficult due to diverse clinical manifestations. Implementing an evidence-based treatment plan is challenging due to the need for more concise and informative summary publications. Our paper provides a comprehensive review of the management of this pathology and might serve as a valuable resource for pediatric urologists and specialists in the field.
