Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder diverticula are outpouchings of the bladder wall.
  • Surgical management is indicated for symptomatic or complicated diverticula.
  • Robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD) offers potential advantages in precision and visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the technique for robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD).
  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of RABD.

Main Methods:

  • Ten patients underwent RABD using either an extravesical or transvesical approach.
  • Concomitant procedures included robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, and transurethral resection of the prostate in 30% of cases.

Main Results:

  • All RABD procedures were successfully completed.
  • Median operative time was 210 minutes, with a median diverticulectomy time of 80 minutes.
  • Median estimated blood loss was 75 mL.
  • Significant improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) by 57% (P=0.001) after a median follow-up of 18 months.

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD) is a feasible and safe surgical option.
  • RABD can be effectively performed using either transvesical or extravesical approaches.
  • The procedure can be utilized as a standalone intervention or in conjunction with other urological surgeries.
