Successful repair of huge bladder diverticulum with a transurethral fulguration. Report of a case.
We present a 68-year-old man with a huge bladder diverticulum associated with benign prostate hypertrophy treated with transurethral fulguration of the diverticular mucosa in combination with transurethral resection of the prostate. The procedure was well tolerated by the patient and unfavorable symptoms faded after this procedure. Follow-up cystogram demonstrated remarkable reduction of the diverticulum.
