Anterior Vaginal Mass: Evaluation and Management of Extravesical Incarcerated Ureterocele

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a case of an anterior vaginal mass and incarcerated ureter seal is presented. The patient, a 32-year-old African-American female, complained of a popping sensation and bulge in the vagina accompanied by pain. She had a history of urinary straining, urgency, frequency, and nocturia. During the examination under anesthesia, it was determined that the mass was cystic in nature and contained a stone. The ureter seal was excised, and bleeding was controlled using cautery. The pathology report revealed urethelium and smooth muscle inflammation. The patient had a successful recovery with resolution of urinary symptoms. Thorough history and physical examination, cystoscopic surveillance, and imaging are important in the evaluation and management of ureter seals.
