title: Female urethral diverticula: a report of 5 cases.
abstract: During the last 3 years we treated 5 women with an important urethral diverticulum. In this paper we present their case studies and a literature review. Four patients were treated by vaginal resection of the diverticulum, and in one patient, that underwent periurethral surgery earlier on, the diverticle was approached by a laparotomy. In all these patients the complaints disappeared postoperatively.
