“…Various sonographic approaches have been described to assess the female urethra. 5,6 TVUS is inexpensive, noninvasive, and readily available in almost all urology and gynecology departments. It is rapid and easy to perform, and it provides the physician the advantage of real-time, hands-on evaluation.…”

“…Currently, double balloon urethrography, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), and MRI [2][3][4] are the most commonly used modalities in the preoperative evaluation of UD. Recently, transrectal 5 and transvaginal 6,7 scanning have been used effectively to demonstrate UDs. We reported our experience with TVUS in 4 women in confirming the diagnosis of UD and comparing the size, location, and content with operative findings.…”

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.

“…11,12 According to some authors, transrectal sonography has a high diagnostic accuracy, and transversal scan views provide good opportunity to describe the anatomy of urethral diverticula. 13,14 Transperineal sonography can reveal periurethral masses as well as transvaginal echography can but cannot give an accurate anatomic evaluation. 15,16 Transurethral sonography has more accuracy because it can show the neck of a diverticulum better than TVUS and transperineal sonography.…”

The current investigation aimed to check the effectiveness of transvaginal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of organic urethral diseases, comparing its results with those of conventional examinations (physical examination, voiding cystourethrography, pelvic ultrasonography, cystourethroscopy). Transvaginal ultrasonography was performed in 560 female patients with recurrent cystitis, dysuria, or palpable masses and diagnosed the following urethral diseases: 25 diverticula, seven stenoses, three carcinomas, two leiomyomas of periurethral tissue, and one incomplete duplex urethra. In our study transvaginal ultrasonography proved to be the most reliable diagnostic tool among imaging methods used.

L'imagerie en coupes (échographie, IRM) et ses progrès avec les sondes et les antennes endocavitaires ont amélioré de façon considérable l'analyse précise de la paroi urétrale et des tissus péri-urétraux qui échappaient aux explorations radiologiques conventionnelles (urétro-cystographie mictionnelle) et à l'endoscopie, limitées à la lumière urétrale. L'échographie endocavitaire, qui est parfois le prélude de l'IRM, permet la visualisation directe des lésions péri-urétrales (diverticules de l'urètre et autres lésions kystiques péri-urétrales, tumeurs solides, matériel chirurgical) tandis que l'imagerie de l'urètre lors de la miction (sténoses et fistules) reste l'apanage de l'urétrocystographie mictionnelle. Les nouvelles méthodes d'imagerie morphologique permettent actuellement une cartographie des lésions de l'urètre féminin dont bénéficie la chirurgie.Mots clés : Urètre féminin -Imagerie -Diverticule urétral -Sténose de l'urètre Imaging of the female urethra Abstract: Cross-sectional imaging (ultrasound and MRI) and its recent advances in endocavitary probes and coils have dramatically improved the examination of the female urethra and periurethral tissues, where conventional cystourethrography and urethroscopy provide limited information on luminal abnormalities of the urethra. Endocavitary ultrasound, sometimes the prelude to MRI, allow the direct assessment of periurethral lesions (urethral diverticula, other cystic masses, solid tumours, and surgical slings), whereas voiding cystourethrography remains most appropriate for assessing the urethral lumen during micturition. New imaging methods allow a comprehensive evaluation of the female urethral abnormalities in order to develop road maps for surgical treatment.
