A late complication of cystocele operation: urethral diverticulum causing chronic pelvic pain

Urethral diverticulum is a condition that must be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain. It is among the late complications developing after particularly vaginal and urologic operations. A detailed anamnesis and a careful vaginal examination are essential. Diagnosis can be made with transvaginal ultrasonography (TV-USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in presence of a vaginal mass. The patient who was admitted with chronic pelvic pain and dysparunia was diagnosed as urethral diverticulum after examinations and imaging techniques. No postoperative complications was developed in the patient who underwent a successful complete urehral resection via vaginal route and the patient recovered.
