Bulbar Urethral Diverticulum after Blunt Perineal Trauma: A Case Report

Abstract

Partial injury of the urethra might lead to diverticulum formation and present in a delayed fashion with obstructive voiding symptoms. Herein, we present the case of an 18 year male who presented with urethral diverticulum. He was examined properly, evaluated thoroughly and managed by modified excision of the diverticulum and spongioplasty. In this report we discuss the possible mechanism of diverticulum formation, its treatment (with our modification) and the outcome. We also discuss the world literature related to this topic in brief.
