case_images: In addition to obesity (body mass index of 38 kg/m2) and the presence of a large incisional hernia (Figure 1A and B), pelvic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated CUD (Figure 2A and B).
case_images: Magnetic resonance image of the pelvis.. Notes: (A) Axial slice demonstrating a complex urethral diverticulum. The small arrow points to the diverticulum lumen. The broad arrow indicates to the urethra. (B) Axial slice of the caudal area of the urethral diverticulum.

case_images: The two parallel incisions were then connected, and this end of the graft was sectioned (Figure 6).
case_images: Images demonstrating diverticulectomy.. Notes: (A) UD (urethral diverticulum) dissected (broad arrow) and vaginal wall opened (small arrow). (B) UD resected and Foley catheter (broad arrow) and vaginal wall (small arrow). (C) Closure in three layers (urethral mucosa, pubocervical fascia - broad arrow; and vagina - small arrow).

case_images: The patients were re-prepared and draped in a lithotomy fashion, and diverticulectomy was performed with an ellipsoid vaginal incision (Figure 7A). The UD was grasped and dissected circumferentially down to the ostium (Figure 7B). The periurethral fascia were closed with 3/0 interrupted absorbable sutures perpendicular to the urethral closure (Figure 7C).
case_images: Final aspect of the procedure.. Notes: The synthetic extension of the sling establishes the correct allocation through the obturator fascia. Conversely, the autologous segment decreases the risk of extrusion or erosion.

case_images: At the end of the procedure, the sling was manipulated so that its middle part (fascia) rested directly below the urethra, considering the chances of erosion with an SS (Figure 8).
