Objective: 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. They are thought to commonly arise due to chronic inflammation or infection of the peri-urethral glands.

Objectives: Transient postoperative urinary retention occurs in approximately half of women after colpocleisis; however, the optimal strategy for postoperative catheter management is unclear. This study compared length of catheterization and postoperative complications after colpocleisis between planned suprapubic catheter placement and transurethral catheterization.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study including all women undergoing colpocleisis from January 2015 to December 2019 in a large female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery practice.
Objectives: Transient urinary retention occurs frequently after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. While the prevalence of postoperative urinary retention has been reported for reconstructive procedures, a paucity of data exists for colpocleisis. The objectives of this retrospective cohort study were to identify risk factors for transient urinary retention after colpocleisis and to determine the rate of its occurrence.

Design: Video demonstration of laparoscopic anterior and posterior colporrhaphy techniques, highlighting the various clinical scenarios in which they would be beneficial.
Setting: Sacrocolpopexy is recommended for the treatment of advanced-stage prolapse [1-3].
