Penile agenesis is a rare anomaly, occurring once in every 30 million births. Early gender reassignment and genital reconstruction helps the family to accept the child’s altered gender and to reduce psychological problems. In the past, multiple operations were carried out to form feminized external genitalia. This report describes a single-stage gender reassignment and genital reconstruction by anterior sagittal anorectovaginourethroplasty in a neonate with penile agenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Duplications of the alimentary tract are rare anomalies that have been reported to occur all along the gastrointestinal tract. Of the various alimentary tract duplications, pyloric duplications are extremely rare. We report the case of a 3-day-old neonate who was antenatally diagnosed as having a cystic mass in the abdomen and who presented with vomiting on the 2nd day of life. At operation, a duplication cyst of the pylorus was removed successfully and a pyloroantrectomy performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
