Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder diverticula can cause urinary problems and may require surgical intervention.
  • Traditional surgical methods can be invasive.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with a large bladder diverticulum identified via ultrasound, intravenous urography, and cystoscopy.
  • The patient underwent a modified extraperitoneal laparoscopic diverticulectomy.

Findings:

  • The novel laparoscopic technique, utilizing a balloon placed within the diverticulum for enhanced visualization and access, was successfully employed.
  • The procedure was completed in 140 minutes with no perioperative complications.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic diverticulectomy is a safe and minimally invasive option for treating large bladder diverticula.
