[Urethral diverticulum in the female. Case report, controversy and treatment].

INTRODUCTION

Urethral diverticulum is a rare cause of recurrent urinary tract infection in women.

CASE REPORT: We report a single case and discuss controversially the different surgical treatment options. The safety of the Spence technique of saucerisation is particularly emphasized.

CONCLUSION

In our opinion the Spence saucerisation technique is the treatment of choice in all cases of urethral diverticulum in the female.
