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.
