title: Stress urinary incontinence as the presenting symptom of primary male urethral diverticulum-A case report and literature review.
abstract: Primary male urethral diverticulum is quite uncommon. It is even more unusual for urinary incontinence to be a presenting symptom of primary male urethral diverticulum. Herein, we report on a 32-year-old male presenting with urine leakage on coughing or abdominal strain beginning from his early twenties. A congenital type bulbar urethral diverticulum is diagnosed by voiding cystourethrography and cystourethroscopy. Endoscopic unroofing of the diverticulum freed the patient from stress urinary incontinence after the surgery.
