Abstract

The Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula is a rare entity with varied anatomic configurations. In this report, we present three different varieties of congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula. The anterior urethrocutaneous fistula was associated with no urethra, hypoplastic urethra, and normal urethra, distal to fistula, 1 in each patient. Each required a different treatment strategy. Postoperative outcome was good in all cases.
