Urethral duplications in the male.

A classification of duplications of the male urethra has been presented together with our clinical experience. The commonest variety is epispadiac form which may be complete, incomplete or abortive. Less common are the hypospadiac forms and very much rarer are the spindle urethras where the bladder neck and also the distal urethra are single. The bifid urethra with pre-anal accessory track is relatively common but has often gone unrecognised.
