RESUMO
Introduction and importance: Bladder diverticula are commonly due to obstruction of the bladder outlet and are typically treated conservatively. However, the rarity and complexity of multiple giant diverticula require a tailor-made surgical approach. Case presentation: We report on a 72-year-old male who presented with severe urinary symptoms and lumbar pain, diagnosed with multiple giant bladder diverticula, including one compressing the ureter. The complex presentation of the patient, including his age and comorbidities, added layers of complexity to the clinical decision-making process. Interventions and outcomes: The patient underwent a two-stage surgery consisting of transurethral prostate resection followed by resection of three diverticula. Postoperatively, the patient showed a remarkable improvement in urinary symptoms, resolution of hydronephrosis, and, more importantly, no complications, demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the surgical strategy chosen. Relevance and impact: This case underscores the challenges in managing complex bladder diverticula, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment strategies and further research in atypical urological conditions. Furthermore, this case highlights the need to increase awareness and research on rare urological conditions. By sharing detailed insights from this case, we aim to enrich the clinical knowledge base, ultimately improving patient outcomes in similar challenging scenarios.
