Abstract
We applied transurethral microwave coagulation therapy to urinary bladder diverticulum. The case is 71-year-old female who had two large diverticulums, 11 × 9 × 7 cm in size on the right lateral wall and 5 × 5 × 4 cm in size on the anterior wall. Electrode resection of diverticular neck was performed, and then all of the inside mucosa was coagulated with a microwave energy of 100 watts. This procedure was able to be performed safely to the end without any complications. After the operation, both diverticulums disappeared. It supposed that the transurethral microwave coagulation therapy was a useful procedure for the endoscopic treatment of urinary bladder diverticulum.
