Introduction: As bladder diverticula in older adults are often secondary to bladder outlet obstruction, bladder diverticulectomy is often performed with prostate treatment. Cases of sequentially performed robot-assisted bladder diverticulectomy and prostatectomy have been reported; however, performing cystotomy for each procedure may increase the risk of complications and prolong operative time.
Materials And Surgical Technique: We reported the cases of three patients who underwent diverticulectomy without additional cystotomy via the bladder opening during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in our hospital.
Discussion: This technique corresponds to a transvesical approach through the bladder neck opening. Hence, it is especially useful for well-visualized diverticula close to the ureteral orifice or on the posterior wall. Although other approaches may be better depending on the location of the diverticulum, it is considered a reasonable approach that does not require an additional cystotomy.

Introduction & Objectives: The use of transperitoneal robotic-assisted procedures for ureterovesical junction (UVJ) anomalies in pediatric patients is increasing. However, the extra-peritoneal approach potentially less invasive, remains underexplored with robotic approach in pediatric patients. We present our experience of robot-assisted extra-vesical laparoscopic extra-peritoneal UVJ surgery.

This case series describes the experiences and outcomes of multiple Australian surgeons performing robotic-assisted bladder diverticulectomy (RABD), highlighting the procedural effectiveness and safety, for both benign and malignant indications for diverticulectomy. Outcomes were analyzed from 13 experienced Australian urologists who performed RABD between 2016 and 2023. Retrospective analysis was performed on prospectively collected data, which included patient demographics, diverticulum characteristics, surgical approaches, and post-operative outcomes.

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.
