Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
INTRODUCTION – Paraurethral cyst- like structures are quite common and affect 1- 6% of females between 20 to 60 years of age . Urethral diverticula account for 80 % of these lesions. Paraurethral cysts are very uncommon.Paraurethral cysts may be congenital or acquired. Since mostly they are asymptomatic they are rarely diagnosed and treated. Once they become symptomatic they require treatment. Here we describe our experience in management of paraurethral cysts and review of the literature . MATERIALS & METHODS – A retrospective chart review was conducted on adult women diagnosed with paraurethral cysts in our hospital between 2012 to 2016 . Eight women aged 25-43 years (mean age :34 years) with paraurethral cysts were diagnosed between 2012 to 2016 at our hospital. The patients complained of pain, dysuria, dyspareunia. All of them underwent a pre-operative diagnostic cysto-urethroscopy. All of the paraurethral cysts were of size 2.5 to 4 cm (mean size: 3.25 cm) and solitary and were in the distal part of the urethra. All of them underwent surgical excision. The mean followup was 9 months ( 6-12 months) RESULTS – All of the patients had sustained relief of symptoms.There were no complications or recurrences. Histopathological examination of the cyst wall showed lining of stratified epithelium. CONCLUSION – Our report is consistent with the few existing reports on paraurethral cysts.In symptomatic patients a simple urological examination without the need for invasive radiological tests is sufficient for the diagnosis. A surgical excision is associated with low risk of post-operative complications leading to complete cure.
