Summary
This study presents a novel technique for bladder diverticulectomy during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This approach avoids an additional cystotomy, potentially reducing complications and operative time for patients with bladder outlet obstruction.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Bladder diverticula in older adults frequently result from bladder outlet obstruction.
- Bladder diverticulectomy is often performed concurrently with prostate treatment.
- Sequential robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy and prostatectomy can increase complication risks and operative duration due to separate cystotomies.
