A large bladder diverticulum was successfully treated using laparoscopic extraperitoneal diverticulectomy. This minimally invasive approach offers effective removal of symptomatic bladder diverticula.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder outlet obstruction can lead to the development of large bladder diverticula.
  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in older men.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male presented with symptoms of dysuria, micturition pain, and cloudy urine.
  • Imaging revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia and a large bladder diverticulum.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent a laparoscopic extraperitoneal diverticulectomy followed by transurethral resection of the prostate.
  • The procedure involved creating a working space with a balloon dilator, diverticulectomy, and bladder wall closure.
  • Postoperative recovery included catheterization and satisfactory micturition, with discharge on the 15th postoperative day.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic extraperitoneal diverticulectomy is a viable, minimally invasive option for treating symptomatic bladder diverticula.
  • This technique allows for complete removal of the diverticulum, potentially improving patient outcomes.
  • Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and broader application of this surgical approach.
