Urology Case Reports
|November 24, 2022
Summary
This article details a rare case of male urethral diverticulum, a condition causing post-void dribbling. Surgical repair successfully excised the diverticulum and restored urethral continuity.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Male urethral diverticulum is a rare congenital or acquired condition.
- Post-void dribbling is a common symptom that can indicate various lower urinary tract issues.
Observation:
- A 34-year-old male presented with post-void dribbling.
- Diagnostic imaging (retrograde cystogram) and cystoscopy revealed a 3 cm penile urethral diverticulum.
- No coexisting urethral stricture was identified.
Findings:
- The patient underwent open surgical repair to excise the urethral diverticulum.
- Urethral continuity was successfully restored.
- The surgical repair was reinforced using corpus spongiosum and dartos fascia.
Implications:
- This case highlights a successful surgical approach for managing male urethral diverticulum.
- Reinforcement techniques using local tissues can improve repair outcomes.
- Further research into optimal surgical techniques for urethral diverticula is warranted.

01:16Urethra
1.5K
The urethra is a hollowed tubular organ through which urine is expelled from the body. This structure extends from the bladder to the external opening, allowing urine to be released.
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male...

01:22Ureters

The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

01:23Urinary Bladder
1.2K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
231
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
