Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Congenital Abnormalities
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • Congenital bladder diverticula (CBD) arise from underdeveloped muscle in the bladder wall.
  • Often asymptomatic, CBD can lead to complications like urinary obstruction or infection.

Observation:

  • This study reports on 3 infants diagnosed with congenital bladder diverticula.
  • Two infants presented with urinary tract infections, and one with bladder outlet obstruction.

Findings:

  • Surgical interventions included intravesical and extravesical excision of the diverticula.
  • An antireflux procedure was performed in one case, and a nephrectomy in another due to associated kidney anomalies.
  • All patients experienced uneventful postoperative recovery with normal voiding.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical correction of congenital bladder diverticula are crucial for preventing complications.
  • Tailored surgical approaches, including excision and management of associated conditions, ensure favorable outcomes in pediatric patients.
  • This case series highlights the effectiveness of surgical management for symptomatic congenital bladder diverticula in infants.
