PURPOSE

Isolated female epispadia is a rare congenital anomaly occurring in 1 of 484.000 female live births

(1) and represents a minor form of the exstrophy-epispadias complex. Epispadias could be defini-

tively diagnosed with a precise external genitalia clinical examination. Early diagnosis and surgical

intervention are fundamental to achieving continence and preserving the urinary tract. This video

describes the surgical management of a 3-year-old female with epispadia who underwent bladder

neck plication, urethroplasty and genitoplasty via a perineal approach.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A healthy 3-year-old girl presented with history of persistent incontinence and enuresis.Urine

analysis did not reveal urinary tract infection. Urinary ultrasound was unremarkable.The physical

findings include patulous urethra due to a dorsal urethral defect and bifid clitoris with lack of anterior

labial commissure.These findings are suggestive of female epispadia. Voiding cystourethrogram

revealed good bladder capacity with no vesico-ureteric reflux on both sides, and she was referred

to correct the defects.

RESULTS

This technique of one-stage perineal approach with bladder neck plication increases the urethral

and bladder neck resistance.

CONCLUSIONS

It offers the possibility of restoring cosmesis and providing continence in a single-stage surgery

precluding the need for abdominal surgery to plicate the bladder neck.

PURPOSE

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of sexual differentiation affecting

46 XY male. We reported the first robotic assisted excision of Mullerian remnant with bilateral

orchidopexies in an Asian child.
