Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of bladder diverticula smaller than 30 (SD) mm and larger than 30 mm (LD) on bladder functions and urodynamics.
Materials And Methods: Our retrospective analysis involved a cohort of 40 pediatric patients diagnosed with primary bladder diverticula.
Results: The predicted mean bladder capacity (MBC) was 197.7 ± 95.8 mL, whereas the observed MBC was lower at an average of 170.1 ± 79.6 mL. This indicates that the observed MBC was 88.2 ± 12.9% of the predicted value (percentage). The mean diverticula diameter recorded was 33 ± 19.5 mm, and the diverticula to MBC ratio were calculated to be 0.25 ± 0.18. The distribution of urinary tract infections (UTIs) differed significantly between the groups (p < 0.001). Upper UT dilatation was significantly more common in the LD group (60%, n = 12) than in the SD group (15%, n = 3) (p = 0.003). The mean detrusor pressure (P[detrusor]) was significantly higher in the LD group (137.2 ± 24.1 cm HO) than in the SD group (63.9 ± 5.8 cm HO) (p = 0.001). In addition, the mean peak flow rate (Q) was significantly higher in the SD group (20.7 ± 7.9 mL/s) compared to the LD group (12.7 ± 3.8 mL/s) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Bladder diverticula size is a significant factor in the clinical presentation and management of primary bladder diverticula in pediatric patients.

Objectives: To explore the experience of tumor control technique in robot-assisted laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy (RALBD) in the treatment of bladder diverticulum tumor, intraoperative tumor control and postoperative comprehensive treatment.
Patients And Methods: We treated three male patients with bladder diverticulum tumors. Case 1 involved a 63-year-old with a 3.

Background: A previously published study at Norrland University Hospital, Umeå, Sweden, found that in 29.5% of patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) who underwent cystectomy, incorrect cT-stage (clinical T-stage) was registered in the Swedish National Register of Urinary Bladder Cancer (SNRUBC). Tumor in bladder diverticulum (TIBD) and tumor-associated hydronephrosis (TAH) were common causes for misclassification.

Introduction And Importance: Female urethral leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that originates from the smooth muscle cells in the urethra's wall. Surgical resection is often the primary treatment option. However, the tumor's location and size can present challenges for complete removal while preserving urethral function.

A young, intact, female, American Bulldog was presented for hemorrhagic vaginal discharge. Anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis with neutrophilia, azotemia, and electrolyte disturbances were detected in the bloodwork. A urachal diverticulum with concurrent uterine distention was identified by ultrasonography and CT.

Background: Ulnar mammary syndrome (UMS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the T-box transcription factor 3 (TBX3) gene. The phenotype is classically characterized by upper limb defects and apocrine/mammary gland hypoplasia. Endocrine abnormalities include hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), partial growth hormone deficiency and dysmorphic features, while ectopic pituitary gland and various congenital anomalies have also been described.
