Purpose:
To describe our technique for robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD).
Patients And Methods:
Ten patients underwent RABD using an extra- or transvesical approach. Three (30%) patients underwent concomitant procedures: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, and transurethral resection of the prostate.
Results:
All RABDs were performed successfully. Median estimated blood loss, operative time, and diverticulectomy time were 75 mL, 210 minutes, and 80 minutes, respectively. Median follow-up time was 18 months. Median International Prostate Symptom Score decreased by 57%, P=0.001.
Conclusions:
RABD is feasible and safe. It can be performed via a trans- or extravesical approach, as a stand-alone, or concomitant procedure.
