Sequential robotic-assisted bladder diverticulectomy and radical prostatectomy. Technique and review of the literature

摘要

INTRODUCTIONAcquired bladder diverticula (BD) in men over the age of 60 are usually due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) secondary to prostatic enlargement. In cases of clinical significant BD with persistent symptoms or complications surgical excision should be considered. In the treatment of BD it is important to address the BOO with a bladder outlet procedure either simultaneously or in a staged fashion.
