- Abstract: Epispadias is an extremely rare malformation that urethral opening is located on the dorsum of the penis. Depending upon its location epispadias is classified as balanic, penile, or penopubic, the latter being by far the most common condition. Most patients of epispadias will have severe urinary incontinence and vesicoureteral reflux. The objects of management in epispadias are to achieve continence, to facilitate normal sexual activity, and to preserve renal function. Recently we have experienced two cases of epispadias without incontinence.
