  • Title: Laparoscopic transperitoneal bladder diverticulectomy: surgical technique.
    Author: Jarrett TW, Pardalidis NP, Sweetser P, Badlani GH, Smith AD.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Surg; 1995 Apr; 5(2):105-11. PubMed ID: 7612940.
    Abstract:
    A large bladder diverticulum causing poor emptying in an 84-year-old man was removed laparoscopically in a 6.5-h operation. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the third postoperative day, having had minimal analgesic requirements. A Council catheter and stylet in the diverticulum greatly facilitated identification of the sac with the laparoscope. Difficulties with intracorporeal knot tying were avoided by using the Lapra-Ty system. Experienced laparoscopic surgeons may find this method of diverticulectomy valuable. With experience, the operating time should be reduced.
