Among the various treatment modalities, laparoscopic approach has been appraised for excellent morbidity profile. Only limited cases of laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy have been reported thus far.1 We present a 5-minute 43-second video of laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy for paraureteric diverticula in a 2-year-old boy. Methods: Patients were selected after detailed evaluation, including presenting complaints, clinical parameters, and blood profile. The imaging protocol included ultrasonogram (USG), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), computed tomogram urography, or magnetic resonance urogram.
