111 Introduction. Urethral diverticulum in women is one of the rarest urological diseases, its frequency ranges from 0.02 to 6%. Urethral diverticulum clinically manifests itself in patients between the third and fourth decades of life and its diagnosis is often difficult because urethral diverticulum can mimic other pelvic floor diseases. Often, incorrect diagnosis leads to the prescription of erroneous treatment for recurrent urinary infection, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, etc.
The aim of this article is to determine the correlation between the topographic-anatomical parameters of the diverticulum, clinical manifestations and results of surgical treatment.
Methods and materials. For the purposes of the study, 50 patients with urethral diverticulum were included in the study. All patients were examined and operated on at the Department of Urology of A.I. Yevdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Density, on the basis of the S.I. Spasokukotsky State Clinical Hospital in the 3rd and 4th urological departments in the period 2019 to 2022. The duration of postoperative follow–up is 2 years. The results of the study were statistically processed.
Results. Most often, patients with urethral diverticulum experience the classic triad of symptoms: dysuria, dispareunia, dribbling, as well as symptoms associated with an infectious-inflammatory process in the bladder and urethra. Analysis of symptoms showed that their presence and severity do not correlate with the size of the diverticulum. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between the size of the urethral diverticulum and the presence of postoperative complications. The larger the diverticulum, the higher the chance of complications in the postoperative period. The location of the urethral diverticulum does not affect the development of complications in the postoperative period.
Conclusions. Based on the results of the study and analysis of the data obtained, the dependence of the frequency of complications (periodic increase in body temperature, weak stream during urination and stress form of urinary incontinence) after diverticulectomy via vaginal access on the size of the urethral diverticulum can be traced.
