Urethroscopy and\/or magnetic resonance imaging are\/is widely used for its identification. Translabial ultrasound is an alternative, particularly since the introduction of three\u2010\/four\u2010dimensional imaging. The aim of our study was to review 10\u2009years' experience of urethral diverticula evaluated by translabial ultrasound.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We reviewed 4121 patients seen in a tertiary urogynecologic unit between 2008 and 2018. All women were examined using multiplanar translabial ultrasound as well as office urethroscopy. Data regarding demographics, presenting symptoms and findings on clinical examination were collected. Archived ultrasound volumes were analyzed for diverticular location, diameters, complexity and echogenicity as well as tract visualization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of our study population, 23 (0.6%) were found to have a major urethral abnormality on translabial ultrasound, 15 of whom were confirmed to have a urethral diverticulum on urethroscopy. Of these, 12 had a cystic component and three were non\u2010cystic on imaging. Mean maximum diameter was 15.3\u2009mm (range, 4\u201332\u2009mm). In 9\/15 there was a simple diverticulum, while in 6\/15 it was classified as complex. A communicating tract was seen in 10\/15 (67%), and this was located at the 5\u20137 o'clock position in 7\/10 (70%). Mean urethral circumference covered by the diverticulum was 39%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Translabial ultrasound is a valid, non\u2010invasive method for the diagnosis of urethral diverticulum. A cystic structure crossing the urethral rhabdosphincter has high predictive value for urethroscopic diagnosis of urethral diverticulum. Multiple hyperechogenic foci may indicate the presence of a small urethral diverticulum. Copyright \u00a9 2019 ISUOG.
