The treatment of female urethral diverticulum with calculus through ultrasonic lithotripsy.
A case report is presented of a large urethral diverticulum with calculus. We proposed the use of transurethral ultrasonic lithotripsy, followed by conventional surgical reconstruction 3 months later, when the condition had improved. The patient was completely cured.
