About Bladder Diverticulectomy Excision

Bladder diverticulectomy excision is a specialized urological surgery performed to remove a diverticulum, which is an abnormal pouch or sac that forms in the bladder wall. This condition often develops due to chronic bladder outlet obstruction, such as from an enlarged prostate, which causes increased pressure and weakens the bladder muscle. The procedure aims to eliminate the pouch, which can harbor urine, lead to recurrent infections, stone formation, and potentially increase the risk of bladder cancer. Typically performed by a urologist using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy or robotic surgery, the goal is to restore normal bladder function, improve urinary flow, and prevent complications. It is a definitive treatment for symptomatic diverticula that do not respond to conservative management.

Key Highlights

    Definitively removes the abnormal bladder pouch (diverticulum).Resolves symptoms like recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and incomplete bladder emptying.Reduces the risk of complications such as bladder stones and potential cancerous changes.Often performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic/robotic), leading to smaller scars and potentially faster recovery.Improves overall bladder function and urinary flow.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Symptomatic bladder diverticula causing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Large diverticula that do not empty properly, leading to urinary retention.
  • Formation of bladder stones within the diverticulum.
  • Suspicion of or confirmed tumor or cancer within the diverticulum.
  • Persistent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) like frequency, urgency, or discomfort not relieved by medication.
  • Diverticula associated with vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine to the kidneys) in children.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including a detailed history and physical exam by the urologist.
  • Undergo diagnostic tests such as a cystoscopy (to view the bladder), ultrasound, or CT urogram to assess the diverticulum's size and location.
  • Provide a complete list of all medications, vitamins, and supplements; you may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days before surgery.
  • Follow specific fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) before the procedure.
  • Discuss anesthesia options (general or spinal) with the anesthesiologist.
  • Arrange for help at home and time off work for the recovery period.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding during or after the procedure.
  • Infection at the surgical site or a urinary tract infection (UTI).
  • Injury to surrounding structures like the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) or intestines.
  • Urinary leakage (incontinence) or difficulty urinating after catheter removal.
  • Formation of a bladder fistula (an abnormal connection to another organ).
  • Recurrence of the diverticulum or persistence of symptoms.
  • Risks associated with anesthesia, such as allergic reactions or breathing problems.
  • Blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis).

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay is typically required for monitoring, pain management, and to ensure you can urinate.
  • A urinary catheter will be in place for several days to allow the bladder to heal.
  • Manage pain with prescribed medications and avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and driving for the recommended period.
  • Drink plenty of water to flush the bladder and help prevent infections.
  • Follow a balanced diet and use stool softeners if needed to avoid straining during bowel movements.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ayaan Iyer, a 58-year-old accountant and...

Ayaan Iyer, a 58-year-old accountant and father of two, had been managing recurrent urinary tract infections for over three years. His background as a meticulous planner made the unpredictability of his symptoms deeply frustrating. Ayaan experienced persistent lower abdominal discomfort, a constant feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and occasional painful urination. Despite multiple rounds of antibiotics, the infections kept returning. A CT urogram finally revealed a large, symptomatic bladder diverticulum acting as a reservoir for bacteria. His urologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a robotic-assisted laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy, explaining that removing this 'pocket' was the only way to break the cycle of infection and prevent potential long-term kidney damage. Ayaan was anxious about surgery but trusted the minimally invasive approach. The procedure went smoothly, and he spent two nights in the hospital. The initial recovery involved some catheter discomfort and abdominal soreness, but within four weeks, he was back to his daily routine. The most profound change was the absence of infections. Emotionally, Ayaan moved from a state of constant, low-grade worry about his next flare-up to immense relief and regained control over his life. He felt he had his health and his time back, no longer planning his days around bathroom access and antibiotic schedules.
