title: A case of female large urethral diverticulum treated by electrofulguration.
abstract: Female urethral diverticulum is not an uncommon disease. We report a case of female urethral diverticulum which caused severe urethral pain, but for which the diagnosis had not been obtained at many hospitals for many years. Transurethral electrocauterization of the diverticulum was very effective in this case.
