Abstract

PURPOSE: We report our experience with transvaginal sonography (TVUS) in the diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum (UD). METHOD: We reviewed the TVUS examinations of 4 patients with a clinical diagnosis of UD and correlated the sonographic findings with the operative findings, especially regarding the UD's size, content, and location. RESULTS: All UDs were demonstrated on TVUS. The size, content, and location of the UD correlated well with the operative findings. CONCLUSION: TVUS is accurate in diagnosis and determination of the size, content, and location of female UD.
