[Diverticuli of the female urethra. Our experience and long-term clinico-instrumental evaluation]

Since 1978, in our Division, we treated for this pathology 11 patients aged between 18 and 60 (average 45). We always performed a transvaginal diverticulectomy, in one case with intradiverticular stone removal: while in no case did we associate a colposuspension because we never found concomitant stress incontinence, nor we discovered the presence of neoplasm in the diverticulum as reported by other authors. We did not report any complication in the postoperative period: the clinical results proved quite satisfactory; in the late follow-up, also including radiologic and profilometric investigation, no relapses occurred and no morphological or manometric alterations were observed.
