Abstract

A prostatic utricle is a congenital outpouching of the prostatic urethra. Signs, symptoms, and indications for surgical intervention include hematuria, pseudo-incontinence from urine trapping within the utricle, lower urinary tract symptoms, recurrent urinary tract infections, and stone formation within the pouch. A combined cystoscopic and laparoscopic approach may be employed to safely perform an utriculectomy using standard instrumentation and techniques. Etiologies, indications for surgical intervention, preoperative studies, instrumentation and operative technique, as well as postoperative management are described.
