Urethral Diverticulum: Unusual Cause of Urinary Incontinence after a Radical Prostatectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urethral diverticulum (UD) is defined as a tubular or sacular dilatation that opens into the urethra [1]. It is rare in men and can be congenital or acquired [2]. Its clinical symptomatology is non-specific. Urethro-cystoscopy or urethro-cystography retrograde and voiding make it possible to establish its diagnosis. We present a case of a DU manifested by urinary incontinence in a patient with history of radical prostatectomy.
