Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital bladder diverticula are uncommon bladder malformations.
  • Symptoms include recurrent urinary tract infections, hematuria, and urinary obstruction.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old boy presented with gross hematuria and recurrent infections.
  • A large, 12-cm congenital bladder diverticulum was diagnosed.

Findings:

  • The patient successfully underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic diverticulectomy.
  • This represents the first reported instance of this minimally invasive procedure in a pediatric patient for bladder diverticulum.

Implications:

  • Robotic-assisted surgery offers a minimally invasive option for complex pediatric urological conditions.
