Abstract
The authors reported the surgical treatment of a 2-year-old girl with complete duplication of the kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, and the vulva, associated with intestinal duplication and complete duplication of the appendix and colon. Congenital intestinal malrotation also concurred. After a series of preoperative examinations, exploratory operation including reduction of intestinal malrotation, fusion of bladder and colon, obliteration of the duplicated urethra, resection of the intestinal and appendiceal duplications, and cosmetic repair of the vulva was performed. Incontinence of urine and stool disappeared, and she had been followed up for 10 months until this report. Repeat voiding cystourethrography performed recently demonstrated a fused bladder and the disappearance of the duplicated urethra.
