INTRODUCTION Urethral caruncles usually arise from the posterior lip of the urethral meatus. Although the etiology of urethral caruncles is still undetermined, they are the most common benign tumors of the female urethra. Most cases are frequently asymptomatic, but, sometimes patients feel a lump or bleeding at the urethral meatus. Symptoms are dysuria, dyspareunia, hematuria and rarely asensat...

BACKGROUND Urethral duplication and megalourethra are rare urethral anomalies. However, the concomitance of urethral duplication and double megalourethra has not been reported previously. CASE REPORT A newborn was presented with penile swelling during voiding. Physical examination revealed a retractable foreskin and two external meatus of a double urethra.

BACKGROUND Uncircumcised boys are at higher risk for urinary tract infections than circumcised boys. Whether this risk varies with the visibility of the urethral meatus is not known. Our aim was to determine whether there is a hierarchy of risk among uncircumcised boys whose urethral meatuses are visible to differing degrees. METHODS We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study in one ped...

OBJECTIVE Systems for categorizing hypospadias are based on the location of the external meatus. The presented proposal draws on the organogenesis of the urethra and its position against the bone structure of the pelvis. The aim of the study was to examine the position of the corpus spongiosum division relative to pelvic bone structures as an indicator of the true level of hypospadias. PATIEN...
