AbstractWe treated 8 patients with bladder diverticula transurethrally. All four quadrants of the diverticular neck which acts as a sphincter and traps residual urine in the diverticulum was incised and the diverticular mucosa was fulgurated until the diverticulum was effaced. The diverticula had markedly shrunk in 2 cases and had totally disappeared in 3. Followup was incomplete in 3 cases. We found that transurethral incision and fulguration of the bladder diverticulum, in combination with transurethral treatment for the bladder outlet obstruction, is a safe, effective and less complicated method.
