Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct. 1998;9(1):55-7. doi: 10.1007/BF01900545.

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.
