AI Article Synopsis
- Voiding symptoms and a penoscrotal mass, often with fistula, are common indicators of urethral diverticulum, as seen in a 55-year-old male patient with these symptoms.
- Diagnostic tests like retrograde urethrography, scrotal ultrasonography, and cystoscopy confirmed the presence of a urethral diverticulum and fistula.
- After surgical repair using a penile skin flap, the patient showed no voiding issues or recurrence during a 6-month follow-up, suggesting this method may be effective for repairing penile urethral defects.
Article Abstract
Voiding symptoms and penoscrotal mass with/without fistula are typical findings of urethral diverticulum. We present a case of 55-year-old male patient who was evaluated for voiding symptoms, soft palpable penoscrotal mass and fistula. Retrograde urethrography, scrotal ultrasonography and cystoscopy revealed a urethral diverticulum and fistula. The defect developed after excision of the diverticulum associated with the penile ventral urethra was closed with a penile skin flap. In the 6-month follow-up, the patient did not have any voiding complaints and no signs of recurrence. Urethroplasty using a penile skin flap may be preferred in the repair of penile ventral urethral defect.
