Laparoscopic vesical diverticulectomy via an extravesical approach is a safe and feasible minimally invasive surgical option. This technique offers an alternative to open surgery for bladder diverticula.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder diverticula can be primary or secondary to conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia or urethral strictures.
  • Surgical management of bladder diverticula traditionally involves open procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the initial experience with 13 cases of laparoscopic vesical diverticulectomy using an extravesical approach.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • A transperitoneal laparoscopic approach was utilized for vesical diverticulectomy.
  • The study included 13 male patients with a mean age of 53 years.
  • Patients had primary bladder diverticula or secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia or urethral stricture.

Main Results:

  • Mean operative time was 265 minutes with minimal blood loss (<100 mL).
  • Postoperative catheterization duration varied based on diverticulum type (7 days for primary, 11-14 days for secondary).
  • A single complication (suture line extravasation) occurred, resolving with prolonged catheterization; mean postoperative stay was 3-4 days.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic vesical diverticulectomy via an extravesical approach is technically feasible and safe.
  • This minimally invasive method presents a viable alternative to conventional open surgery for bladder diverticula.
