All data on demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, physical examination findings, diagnostic and operative procedures, were considered. Patients were referred to TL\u2010US<\/jats:styled-content> for diverticular evaluation, using a 2D<\/jats:styled-content> 7.5\u2010MHz<\/jats:styled-content> endfire probe. For each UD<\/jats:styled-content>, size, complexity, echogenicity content, and presence of diverticular neck were considered. Follow\u2010up controls were carried out at 1, 6 and 12\u2009months after surgery, to evaluate outcome and need for further intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Mean patient age was 46\u2009years (range, 35\u201355\u2009years) and mean parity was 1 (range, 0\u20133). The principal symptoms associated with the diverticular mass was dysuria (25%). In all evaluated cases, UD<\/jats:styled-content> was single (simple in 15 cases and complex in 5). The mean size of the diverticula was 28\u2009mm (range, 8\u201350\u2009mm). Nineteen diverticula were diagnosed on TL\u2010US<\/jats:styled-content>, and urethrocystoscopy was carried out for confirmation. Treatment consisted of diverticulectomy.
