Anomalies of the Urethra

  • Chapter
Book cover Malformations

  • 79 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter will consider congenital anomalies of the urethra, but will not include epispadias (Chapter 5), hypospadias (Chapter 10), or ectopic ureters draining into the urethra (Chapter 4). Bladder neck obstruction is the subject of a separate communication (Chapter 6) and will be considered only in so far as it arises secondarily to diseases originating more distally in the urethra.
