Laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy assisted by cystoscopic transillumination

Acquired bladder diverticula are hernia-tions of the bladder mucosa through detrusor mus-cle. Due to the ineffective emptying of the bladder diverticulum, urine accumulation may lead to uri-nary tract infection, stone disease, and lower uri-nary tract malignancy in the diverticulum (1). The symptomatic bladder diverticula may require sur-gical treatment. Surgical approaches include open operation via an extravesical or a transvesical ap-proach for large diverticula or endoscopically with transurethral fulguration for small diverticula (2).Herein, we present a video of a Laparoscop-ic Bladder Diverticulectomy for recurrent urinary tract infection, aided by concurrent cystoscopy.
