Transabdominal Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Urethral Diverticulectomy of a Complex Anterior Horseshoe Diverticulum of the Proximal Urethra
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex, proximal, anteriorly located urethral diverticula present the reconstructive urologist with a uniquely challenging task for repair through a conventional transvaginal approach. Herein, we present the first report of urethral diverticulectomy to excise a large, anterior, horseshoe-shaped urethral diverticulum that resulted in bladder outlet obstruction, using a transabdominal robot-assisted laparoscopic approach.

Anterior Urethral Valve and Diverticulum in a Neonate with Urinary Tract Infection
Introduction:Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause obstructive uropathy. AUV can lead to variable urinary tract symptoms, and if left untreated, it can result in end-stage renal disease. AUV should be immediately evaluated and managed. Herein, we present a neonate with AUV and diverticulum, who was treated by cystoscopy. Case report:A 11-day-old boy was ref...

Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum (CAUD) is an uncommon condition in children. We describe 2 patients of CAUD who presented with ventral penile swelling; in one, the site of swelling was just proximal to corona which is quite rare. The diagnosis was made on USG and MCU. Both patients had normal renal function. Open diverticulectomy and primary repair was done in both patients.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES With the increased use of minimally invasive surgery, the urethral diverticulum after anorectal surgery has become an issue. The few cases reported have been managed by surgical excision. We hereby report a case of urethral diverticulum after a laparoscopically-assisted anorectal pull-through (LAARP)procedure with a successful outcome after a period of active surveillance. ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical usefulness of preoperative CT voiding cystourethrography (CT-VCUG) using 16-multidetector computed tomography for female urethral diverticula. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative CT-VCUG was performed in 15 consecutive patients who underwent urethral diverticulectomy from May 2004 to December 2012. The result of preoperative cystourethroscopy and surgical findi...
