Surgical repair for urethral diverticulum in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical method for treating a urethral diverticulum, which is a pocket that forms along the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). The technique fills and covers the diverticulum wall to repair it and may help relieve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and have been diagnosed with a urethral diverticulum that wraps completely around the urethra, confirmed by imaging tests.

- You must be willing to come back for check-ups for at least 6 months after surgery.
- You cannot have uterine prolapse or vaginitis.
- You cannot have any tumors in the vagina.
- Your blood clotting function must be normal.

This study looks at a common problem after C-section: a small pocket (diverticulum) in the uterine scar that can cause long, heavy periods. It tests a surgical repair done through the vagina to fix the defect and hopefully reduce bleeding and improve quality of life.
This study compares two approaches for women having a second or third C-section who have a small pocket or gap in the scar from a previous C-section (called a diverticulum). Half of the participants will have that scar area repaired during the C-section, and half will not, to see if repair improves healing or reduces future symptoms.
This trial compares two laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery methods to fix a uterovesical fistula, which is an abnormal opening between the bladder and uterus that can happen after C-section or other pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which method works best.
This study looks at whether “insertable cups” are helpful and acceptable for treating obstetric vaginal fistula (a hole between the birth canal and urinary tract). The trial checks if the device can close the problem and whether participants feel it’s safe and practical to use.
This study compares two ways of closing the vagina after laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if one approach leads to better sexual function after surgery.
This trial tests whether one type of vaginal wall repair works better than another surgery for women with vaginal bulging (anterior prolapse). It may help find the safest and most effective operation to reduce symptoms.
