Abstract

13 patients with bladder diverticula underwent transurethral diverticulectomy.
Follow-up cystograms were obtained six months after surgery. The diverticulum had shrunk in all cases and had totally disappeared in 11 (85%).
Transurethral diveritculectomy is a simple, effective, and safe procedure. It takes only a short time and can easily be combined with transurethral operations for obstructions of the lower urinary tract.
