Transurethral Electrovaporization of Bladder Diverticulum: An Alternative to Open or Laparoscopic Bladder Diverticulectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used transurethral electrovaporization of the diverticular mucosa as the primary treatment for an acquired bladder diverticulum in a female patient. The bladder diverticulum was secondary to bladder outlet obstruction from a previous pubovaginal sling. In comparison to either open or laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy, transurethral electrovaporization of the bladder diverticulum was effective in significantly reducing the diverticular size while being less invasive, requiring a short operative time, and a quick patient recovery.

The patient was a 71-year-old man, who had had dysuria, micturition pain and cloudy urine. We found the patient to have benign prostatic hyperplasia and a large diverticulum of the bladder. We removed the diverticulum by ...
متن کاملLaparoscopic urinary bladder diverticulectomy combined with photoselective vaporisation of the prostate
INTRODUCTION Pseudodiverticulum of the urinary bladder is mostly a complication of subvesical obstruction (SO). The gold standard of treatment was open diverticulectomy with adenectomy. A more contemporary resolution is endoscopic, in two steps: the first transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the second laparoscopic diverticulectomy (LD). AIM To present a one-session procedure - pho...

Bladder diverticulectomy is a surgical operation for symptomatic or large bladder diverticula. Typically, bladder diverticula are because of infravesical obstruction, although congenital diverticula can occur that may be large and symptomatic. The ability to excise the diverticulum completely, avoid important adjacent structures, and close the bladder defect in a watertight fashion are key fund...
