Two extremes of the megalourethra spectrum

Urology. 2006 Mar;67(3):614-6. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2005.09.018.

Abstract

The 2 cases of megalourethra presented in this report illustrate the variability in the severity of congenital malformations associated with this condition. Surgical repair of a scaphoid-type megalourethra is discussed. Also, a digital video of megalourethra in a degloved penis is presented that uniquely illustrates the functional anatomy of this condition.
