Laparoscopic Excision of a Giant Bladder Diverticulum / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Bladder diverticulum is a herniation of the bladder mucosa through the bladder wall musculature. Traditionally, bladder diverticulum has been excised by the open surgical method. However, laparoscopic technique has been widely used to treat many urologic diseases, including bladder diverticulum. Laparoscopic diverticulectomy can be performed transperitoneally or extraperitoneally. We report here on our experience with transperitoneal laparoscopic diverticulectomy.
