Abstract
- In less than 10% of cases, males may have isolated epispadias, which is caused by failure in the urethral tubularization process, leading to dorsal urethral defect. This case report presents a unique instance where epispadias was associated with ambiguous genitalia. A 5-year-old boy diagnosed with epispadias. The penis resembled external female genitalia, with scrotal skin covering it. He underwent a two-stage operation without complications. The aim of the surgical techniques is to correct these anomalies and restore urinary continence and sexual function. Long-term outcomes of the surgery can vary, which highlights the need for further research.
