title: [Urethral diverticuli in women: role of diagnostic methods in the preoperative assessment].
abstract: From 1985 to 1993 we observed 9 female patients with urethral diverticula. All patients underwent first clinical examination and then US (suprapubic and transrectal or transvaginal scans) and X-ray cystography which demonstrated the communication between the diverticula and the urethra, MRI was also performed, in order to explain the rapports between the diverticulum and the sphyncter. All patients underwent surgery and 8 were cured. No cases of incontinence were observed.
