Summary
This study presents a modified Spence-Duckett procedure for treating distal urethral diverticula. The new surgical approach effectively resolved patient symptoms without causing urinary incontinence.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Urethral diverticula, outpouchings of urethral mucosa, affect 2-5% of the population.
- They often result from chronic inflammation or infection of peri-urethral glands.
- Accurate imaging is crucial for surgical planning to map diverticula location and urethral involvement.
