Summary
Objective
To describe our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic transperitoneal repair of a congenital rectourethral fistula in a pediatric patient with a urethral duplication.
Methods
The patient is a 2-year-old male with a past medical history of Tetralogy of Fallot presenting with a febrile urinary tract infection (UTI). He was diagnosed with urethral duplication and a rectourethral fistula by voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). The parents were counseled on various options and agreed to proceed with a robotic repair.
Results
Robotic-assisted transperitoneal rectourethral fistula repair was performed. The procedure time was 229 min with an estimated blood loss (EBL) of 15 mL. His postoperative course was unremarkable. At his 2- week follow-up, the urethral catheter was removed and the patient was voiding normally and having normal bowel movements.
Conclusion
Congenital rectourethral fistula with urethral duplication is a rare anomaly with only a few reports in the literature. Pediatric robotic-assisted trans-peritoneal rectourethral fistula repair is a technically feasible approach in infants with minimal morbidity that allows for excellent visualization and avoids open repair.

Introduction
Diphallia is a rare anomaly. It has a range of appearances from a small accessory penile to complete duplication.
We present a 2 year-old boy with complete penile duplication. The left penile was the largest. NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) suggested one corporal body for each penile and VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram) showed a normal urethra in the right penile and stricture at glandular and mid penile urethra of the left penis. A Y confluence to bulbar urethra was observed confirming only one prostate and bladder.
The cystoscopy through the right penile identified the urethral confluence in the bulbar area. We performed a meatotomy in the left penile to insert the cystoscope and confirmed the blind ending urethra. We decided to remove this penile. The penile was degloved entirely and clamped and took out the corpora at the base.
Discussion
Diphallia can have three presentations: only glans duplication, bifid diphallia and complete diphallia (two corpora cavernosa and a corpus spongiosum for each penile). In our case, each penile presented only one corpora cavernosa and the decision taken was based on urethral patency.
The treatment should always be planned individually whereas associated anomalies with the goal of attaining satisfactory functional and cosmetic.
