Recurrent cystitis in a woman was successfully treated by surgically addressing a bladder diverticulum and inguinal hernia. This combined approach resolved the patient's persistent urinary tract infections.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Pelvic Health

Background:

  • Recurrent cystitis can significantly impact quality of life, particularly in patients with a history of pelvic trauma.
  • Bladder diverticula and hernias are potential, though less common, contributors to urinary tract infections.

Observation:

  • A 77-year-old female patient presented with a history of pelvic fracture and persistent, recurrent cystitis.
  • Excretory urography identified a bladder diverticulum concurrent with a bladder hernia.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention involving transurethral incision and fulguration of the bladder diverticulum was performed.
  • Left inguinal herniography and subsequent management addressed the associated hernia.
  • The patient experienced complete resolution of recurrent cystitis post-procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of investigating anatomical abnormalities, such as bladder diverticula and hernias, in cases of refractory recurrent cystitis.
  • Combined surgical management of urological and herniary defects can be an effective strategy for resolving complex lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • Further research into the prevalence and management of combined bladder diverticula and hernias is warranted.
