Abstract
To describe our technique for robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD). Ten patients underwent RABD using an extra- or transvesical approach. Three (30%) patients underwent concomitant procedures: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, and transurethral resection of the prostate. All RABDs were performed successfully. Median estimated blood loss, operative time, and diverticulectomy time were 75 mL, 210 minutes, and 80 minutes, respectively. Median follow-up time was 18 months. Median International Prostate Symptom Score decreased by 57%, P=0.001. RABD is feasible and safe. It can be performed via a trans- or extravesical approach, as a stand-alone, or concomitant procedure.
