Popis: Transurethral resection of the bladder diverticular neck and fulguration of the diverticular mucosa were performed in 31 diverticula. Cystograms showed that 26 of the 31 diverticula had disappeared completely after 1 month. Follow-up cystograms have shown no recurrence, and no further surgical procedures were required. Therefore, we conclude that resection of the diverticular neck from 4 to 8 o'clock to even the gap between the bladder mucosa and diverticular wall in conjunction with transurethral treatment of the prostate, if required, is a safe, fast and effective method.
