Abstract

Female incontinent episadias is a very rare congenital anomaly presenting in childhood. We report 2 cases of adults presenting with this anomaly. These were treated by total genitourinary reconstruction in a single stage using a combined perineal abdominal approach, with satisfactory results. We recommend this technique as the procedure of choice in adults presenting with this rare anomaly.
