The Modified Prone Jack-knife Position for the Excision of Female Urethral Diverticula.

Background: Female urethral diverticula (UD) are an uncommon and often overlooked aetiology in women presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms, urethral pain, and recurrent urinary tract infection. With increasing awareness, appropriate imaging is more commonly undertaken with consideration given to surgical management.

Objective: The video presented demonstrates the technique for excising large and/or complex UD using a modified prone jack-knife position-a position that offers excellent surgical access and allows the surgeon to operate in a more ergonomic position.

Management of symptomatic urethral diverticula in women: a single-centre experience.

Background: Urethral diverticula (UDs) affect between 1% and 6% of adult women. A total of 1.4% of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) have a UD.
