Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Male urethral diverticulum is a rare condition.
  • Frequent etiologies include prolonged urethral catheterization and urethroplasty.

Observation:

  • Diagnosis is typically clinical, characterized by a palpable urethral swelling.
  • Urine expulsion from the urethral meatus upon palpation aids diagnosis.
  • Urethrography is essential for confirming the diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical management involves diverticulectomy and urethrorrhaphy.
  • The surgical approach may be single or multi-staged, depending on the diverticular neck size and tissue quality.

Implications:

  • Understanding the etiology and diagnostic methods is crucial for effective management.
  • Surgical outcomes depend on the specific characteristics of the urethral diverticulum.
