Abstract

Female urethral diverticulum is a rather rare pathology, often ignored, which affects from 1 to 4% of the white population. In this study we report our series, limited to a selected population of women affected by neurologic bladder (6 paraplegic patients; 2 patients with multiple sclerosis) who were referred to our Urosurgical Unit within the space of four years. The diagnostic work-up relevant to these patients is discussed, together with the therapeutic strategies carried out and the long-term results obtained.
