Abstract
Urethral duplication (UD) is a very rare congenital malformation, either in its complete or incomplete presentation. Its different types of appearance as well as the usually associated malformations (genitourinary, gastrointestinal, musculo-skeletal, and others) make it a complex disorder which requires an individualized treatment. Three new cases of complete UD are now reported. One of them is associated with diphallus, and another with severe renal failure due to obstructive uropathy which needed renal transplantation 3 years after diagnosis. We describe and analyze the diagnostical and therapeutical approach used for each case.
