Objective: To evaluate the medium-term outcomes of the management of children with urethral duplication. Materials and Methods: We report a retrospective study of four children carrying urethral duplication followed in our department over a period of 5 years from 2010 to 2015; Preoperative exploration was based on ultrasound, urethrocystography retrograde and the fistulography. Results: In our study, three patients had rare form of epispadias urethral duplication (complete type II of Effmann and Leibowitz) and one, a "Y" duplication (type II A2). We proceeded in all cases, to the resection of a super urethra excision. The follow up was from 6 months to 2 years for our patients. There was no infectious complication. For one patient with Y urethral duplication, a stenosis of the path of the dorsal urethra was preserved within complete urination. Conclusion: Urethral duplication on a boy is a rare anomaly of the urinary tract. The diagnosis and the determination of its type are based on the retrograde cystography. Its varied clinical expression depends on its anatomical type. If the diagnosis is established in a symptomatic context, the surgical indication is posed with good performances in most cases.
La verge enfouie congénitale de l’enfant est une malformation congénitale dans laquelle le pénis semble être de petite taille, mais tous les constituants de la verge sont de taille normale (l’urètre, les corps érectiles et le gland). L’objectif de notre étude était de rapporter notre expérience dans le traitement chirurgical de cette anomalie. Il s’agit d’un nourrisson de 18 mois adressé initialement des urgences à notre service pour prise en charge d’une hydrocèle bilatérale. Cependant, l’examen clinique retrouve une verge enfouie avec un prépuce serré et une dilatation du réservoir préputial par les urines. L’intervention comprend plusieurs étapes: incision en Z, décalottage, libération de la verge par rapport aux adhérences entourant les corps caverneux et couverture cutanée ventrale sur sonde vésicale gardé une semaine pour protéger la cicatrisation. Les résultats esthétique et fonctionnel ont été satisfaisants chez notre patient après un an de recul. La verge enfouie congénitale reste un sujet très débattu. Notre technique était simple et facilement reproductible. Les difficultés mictionnelles, l’infection urinaire sont les indications principales de cette chirurgie.
