Congenital diverticulum of male urethra.
Congenital diverticulum of the male urethra is an uncommon condition. Urinary tract infection, urethral obstruction, and disturbances in micturition are the most common symptoms. Six cases of congenital diverticulum of the male urethra were studied with regard to diagnosis and treatment. Four patients underwent endoscopic treatment of the diverticulum. The procedure is simple and rapid, with low incidence of complications and high rates of success.
