Abstract

Urethral diverticula are rare in children, especially in the absence of trauma. We present a case of a 9-year-old girl with pain with micturition, incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Diagnosis of urethral diverticulum was made by magnetic resonance imaging. A robot-assisted transabdominal laparoscopic diverticulectomy was performed without complication. The patient experienced a significant improvement in symptoms.
