초록
Female urethral diverticulum (UD) is a rare and benign condition that presents as an epithelium-lined outpouching of the urethra. It has various symptoms, of which incontinence in the form of postmicturition dribble is the most common. The gold standard for the diagnosis of UD is magnetic resonance imaging, and the treatment of choice is transvaginal diverticulectomy. Despite the high success rate of transvaginal diverticulectomy, postoperative complications such as de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI), recurrence, urethrovaginal fistula, recurrent urinary tract infections, newly-onset urgency, and urethral stricture can occur. De novo SUI is thought to result from weakening of the anatomical support of the urethra and bladder neck or damage to the urethral sphincter mechanism during diverticulectomy. It can be managed conservatively or may require surgical treatment such as a pubovaginal sling, Burch colposuspension, or urethral bulking agent injection. Concomitant SUI can be managed by concurrent or staged anti-incontinence surgery. Recurrent UD may be a newly formed diverticulum or the result of a remnant diverticulum from the previous diverticulectomy. In cases of recurrent UD requiring surgical repair, placing a rectus fascia pubovaginal sling may be an effective method to improve the surgical outcome. Urethrovaginal fistula is a rare, but devastating complication after urethral diverticulectomy; applying a Martius flap during fistula repair may improve the likelihood of a successful result. Malignancies in UD are rarely reported, and anterior pelvic exenteration is the recommended management in such cases.
Abstract
Female urethral diverticulum (UD) is a rare and benign condition that presents as an epithelium-lined outpouching of the urethra. It has various symptoms, of which incontinence in the form of postmicturition dribble is the most common. The gold standard for the diagnosis of UD is magnetic resonance imaging, and the treatment of choice is transvaginal diverticulectomy. Despite the high success rate of transvaginal diverticulectomy, postoperative complications such as de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI), recurrence, urethrovaginal fistula, recurrent urinary tract infections, newly-onset urgency, and urethral stricture can occur. De novo SUI is thought to result from weakening of the anatomical support of the urethra and bladder neck or damage to the urethral sphincter mechanism during diverticulectomy. It can be managed conservatively or may require surgical treatment such as a pubovaginal sling, Burch colposuspension, or urethral bulking agent injection. Concomitant SUI can be managed by concurrent or staged anti-incontinence surgery. Recurrent UD may be a newly formed diverticulum or the result of a remnant diverticulum from the previous diverticulectomy. In cases of recurrent UD requiring surgical repair, placing a rectus fascia pubovaginal sling may be an effective method to improve the surgical outcome. Urethrovaginal fistula is a rare, but devastating complication after urethral diverticulectomy; applying a Martius flap during fistula repair may improve the likelihood of a successful result. Malignancies in UD are rarely reported, and anterior pelvic exenteration is the recommended management in such cases.
