Abstract:
Huge bladder diverticulum is uncommon but serious cause of obstructive uropathy in children. This study investigated an 18 months old boy with a huge bilateral Hutch diverticulum presented with recurrent urinary retention, underwent bilateral bladder diverticulectomy. The operative management entailed meticulous reconstruction of the lower urinary tract. Post operatively the patient restored normal voiding dynamics, and he is on regular follow up. We are reporting this case due to its rarity and to share our experience with the management and outcome in such cases.
