Transvaginal Diverticulum Wall Filling and Coverage Technique
This surgical intervention is a modified transvaginal technique for the treatment of circumferential female urethral diverticulum (UD). Instead of performing a complete diverticulectomy, the procedure utilizes the patient's own demucosalized diverticular wall to fill the diverticular cavity and reinforce closure of the ostium. The technique aims to preserve the integrity of the dorsal urethra, reduce the risk of fistula, minimize dead space, and improve functional outcomes such as continence and sexual function. This approach is specifically designed for circumferential UD, which poses unique anatomical and surgical challenges.
