The article in BJU International explores the anatomical and histological aspects of Skene's glands and urethral diverticula in female urethral anatomy. The study reveals a wider distribution of urethral glands than previously reported, with implications for pathogenesis and surgery. Skene's glands, considered homologues of the male prostate, are distinct from other urethral glands and play a role in orgasmic emissions and mucinous secretions. The differences between these glands impact diagnostic and surgical approaches to pathology, with Skene's gland malignancy being rare but requiring careful management. [Extracted from the article] |
