MEGALOURETHRA

Megalourethra is a rare congenital anomaly of the anterior urethra. Th ere are two varieties, scaphoid and fusiform. We present a patient, wi th scaphoid variety, who we repaired in one stage, by tailoring the sk in and urethra with a size 12 F catheter, through an elliptical incisi on, without degloving the penis. Apart from a coronal sulcus urethral fistula, which was repaired 6 months later, the repair was successful. It is concluded that megalourethra, scaphoid variety, can be repaired successfully in one stage, and without much trauma to the penis.
