    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Acquired urethral diverticula are rare conditions in male subjects.
    • These outpouchings of the urethra can lead to significant patient morbidity.

    Observation:

    • Four male patients with acquired urethral diverticula were reviewed.
    • All presented with severe complications including urinary tract infections, urethral fistulas, and stone or sequestrum formation within the diverticulum.

    Findings:

    • The reviewed cases highlight the potential complications associated with acquired urethral diverticula.
    • Conservative management is often insufficient, necessitating surgical intervention.

    Implications:

    • Surgical excision of the diverticulum combined with urethral repair is the recommended treatment approach.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent severe complications and improve patient outcomes.
