Abstract

Child, Preschool Diverticulum - congenital Diverticulum - surgery Humans Male Reconstructive Surgical Procedures - methods Urethra - surgery Urethral Diseases - congenital Urethral Diseases - surgery
A new technique for primary reconstruction of a congenital anterior urethral diverticulum is described. This operation eliminates the obstruction caused by the distal lip of the diverticulum and at the same time strengthens the unsupported urethral wall using tissue from the walls of the diverticulum. It has been used very effectively in two boys.
