Special Features
Bladder diverticula can manifest with symptoms such as difficulty urinating, residual urine formation, frequent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or bleeding.
Symptoms
Such conditions can be congenital or acquired. The acquired diverticula usually develops as a result of a bladder emptying disorder due to benign prostatic enlargement or neurological diseases.
Causes
The Da-Vinci bladder diverticulectomy is a robot-assisted, minimally invasive keyhole surgery requiring special surgical expertise. Under general anesthesia, instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions and then controlled by the surgeon via a console.
