We present a case of an 84-year-old man presenting with painless visible hematuria. Further investigation revealed a primary G3pT1 transitional cell carcinoma confined to a bladder diverticulum. In view of bladder-sparing therapy, he underwent a robot-assisted laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy with ureteral re-implantation. This report demonstrates a minimally invasive approach offering radical treatment without having to recur to partial or radical cystectomy. We discuss the operative steps, the significance of this case with a review of the literature, and the future potential this may represent for the treatment of tumor-containing bladder diverticula.

: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) has been standardized over the last 20 years. At our institution, only n = 3 rob arms are used for RARP. In addition, n = 2, 12 mm lap trocars are placed for the bedside assistant symmetrically at the midclavicular lines, which allows for direct pelvic triangulation and greater involvement of the assisting surgeon.
