Feminizing genitoplasty and correction of cloacal anomalies Jeffrey A Leslie and Richard C Rink

Persistent UGS anomalies occur in a spectrum, and therefore evaluation and management must be tailored accordingly. In UGS abnormalities, there is a persistent communication of the vagina with the urinary tract, but the communication may occur anywhere from the bladder to the urethral meatus. Fortunately,

the majority occur within the mid-to distal portion of the urethra. The two structures join and exit on the perineum as a single common UGS channel.
