Abstract
Congenital diverticulum of the distal urethra is extremely rare in urological practice, there are isolated descriptions of it in the literature, as a result every clinical observation is of interest. The aim of this study is demonstration of a rare clinical observation — congenital diverticula of the distal urethra without infravesical obstruction (meatostenosis) in a teenager.
The article describes a clinical case of treatment of congenital diverticula of the anterior urethra without signs of infravesical obstruction in a 13-year-old teenager.
A case of surgical treatment of congenital urethral diverticulum without infravesical obstruction in a 13-year-old teenager is presented. Diverticulectomy with suture of the urethra was performed with good anatomical and functional results.
A distal urethral diverticulum of a congenital nature is extremely rarely noted as an isolated condition without an anterior urethral valve or another variant of infravesical obstruction. The method of choice is to perform diverticulectomy with suturing of the urethra.
