Urethral duplication is a spectrum of congenital anomalies that is more common in males, but very little is known about the possible reconstruction methods and their outcome. Hypospadiac urethral duplication is a variety treated with onlay preputial flap. We report a 3-year-old patient of hypospadiac duplication who was treated with a single-stage urethroplasty. An excellent cosmetic and functional outcome were achieved by dorsal to ventral urethra-urethrostomy and novel application of tubularized incised plate technique for urethroplasty.
