Female patients commonly experience vesicovaginal fistulas and urethral diverticula. Modified Foley catheters and visual urethrotomes aid in diagnosing these urologic conditions through vaginoscopy and urethroscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Vesicovaginal fistulas and urethral diverticula are prevalent urologic issues in female patients, excluding stress incontinence.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe modifications of a Foley catheter for enhanced diagnostic procedures.
  • To introduce the use of a visual urethrotome for urethroscopy in female patients.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of a Foley catheter to facilitate vaginal distention for vaginoscopy and urethrography.
  • Utilizing a visual urethrotome for performing urethroscopy.

Main Results:

  • The modified Foley catheter effectively aids in vaginal distention, improving visualization for vaginoscopy and urethrography.

  • The visual urethrotome enables direct visualization of the urethra during urethroscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • These modified instruments offer improved diagnostic capabilities for common female urologic problems.
    • The described techniques enhance the ability to diagnose vesicovaginal fistulas and urethral diverticula.
