Résumé
To demonstrate a modified approach to the Spence-Duckett procedure for treatment of a distal urethral diverticulum. A urethral diverticulum is an outpouching of urethral mucosa occurring in 2-5% of the population. Spence and Duckett traditionally described insertion of one blade of the Metzenbaum scissors in the urethra with incision into the diverticulum and anterior vaginal wall followed by marsupialization. While effective, the Spence-Duckett technique is described as a "generous meatotomy" with risks of urethral shortening. Our modified approach reduces these risks, resolves bothersome symptomatology, improves cosmesis, and minimizes risk of anatomic or functional urethral compromise.
