Urology. 1989 Jan;33(1):40-2. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(89)90064-2.

Abstract

We present a new surgical technique to correct acquired anterior urethral diverticula after hypospadias repair. The correction involves a degloving circumferential skin incision, excision of the diverticulum, and closure of the urethra incorporating overlapping suture lines.
