| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Acquired bladder diverticula (BD) are associated with bladder outlet obstruction. The aim of our study is to analyse the improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients who underwent robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD) combined with transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). Material and Methods: A prospectively single-centre, single surgeon cohort of four patients with posterolateral BD due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) undergoing RABD combined with TURP between 2018 and 2023 was analysed. Results: Median age and maximum BD diameter were 73.5 years and 16 cm, respectively. All patients had severe LUTS and elevated postvoid residual (PVR). Preliminary uroflowmetry revealed bladder outlet obstruction with a median of maximum urine flow rate of 8.5 ml/s. The median operative time and blood loss were 212 min and 100 ml, respectively. No intraoperative complications were recorded. The median length of stay was 4 days. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and PVR were compared between baseline, 1 month and 6 months after surgery. IPSS significantly decreased from 24 (IQR 24-25) preoperatively compared to the postoperative, at 1 month follow up 7 (IQR 6-8) ( p < 0.0001). PVR significantly decreased too from 165 (IQR 150-187) to 35 ml (IQR 25-42) ( p < 0.0001). In transitioning from the 1-month follow-up to the 6-month follow-up, no substantial statistical improvement was observed. Conclusion: Concomitant performance of TURP with RABD is feasible and safe. Diverticulectomy in addiction at the endoscopic procedure should be discussed with patients who have obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms as viable alternative to single procedure individually performed.
