Anesthetic management of diphallia with anorectal malformation posted for colostomy: a rare association

Abstract

Duplication of the penis or Diphallia is a rare abnormality of the urogenital tract present once in every 5–6 million live births with varied presentations and associated systemic anomalies. We present the anesthetic management of a neonate presenting with duplication of penis, urethra, and anorectal malformation. With this rare case, we aim to shed light on the various perioperative anesthetic concerns of such neonates presenting with surgical emergencies and their successful management.
