Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

5.3K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Skene's gland cysts can cause dyspareunia, urinary tract infections, and voiding dysfunction.
  • Surgical intervention is considered for symptomatic Skene's gland cysts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the long-term outcomes of Skene's gland cyst excision.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of ten Skene's gland cyst excisions performed between 2001 and 2013.
  • Evaluation of presenting symptoms, preoperative diagnostics (MRI, VCUG), surgical technique, complications, and clinical outcomes.
  • Surgical technique involves cystoscopy, dissection, complete cyst wall removal, and vaginal wall closure.

Main Results:

  • Mean follow-up was 3.5 years.
  • Common presenting symptoms included dyspareunia and urinary tract infections.
  • No perioperative complications or recurrences were reported.
  • Eight of ten sexually active women remained sexually active postoperatively.

Conclusions:

  • Skene's gland cyst excision is a safe procedure.
  • The surgery offers acceptable long-term functional outcomes.
