Abstract: A 63-year-old hypertensive patient presented urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. Urethro-cystoscopy revealed an urethral diverticulum. The cure of the latter allowed a complete disappearance of the incontinence. The purpose of this work is to first describe the characteristics of male urethral diverticula and, above all, to recall the extreme importance of morphological exploration of the lower urinary tract before considering any surgical treatment of urinary incontinence post-radical prostatectomy.
