Diverticula caused by a block in the bladder are treated by taking out the block and maybe the diverticulum, as well. The surgery can be done by open surgery or through small tubes fed inside the bladder. A robot may be used to help with the surgery. Sometimes surgery on the outside of the bladder will also be needed.

For patients with diverticula and urinary obstruction, treatment will include relief of the obstruction and possible removal of the diverticulum. This condition can be treated with both open and laparoscopic surgery.

Neoplasms arising in urinary bladder diverticula are uncommon, but not rare. 0.8% and 10% of patients with vesical diverticula show neoplasm development within the diverticula.

Symptoms and signs commonly associated with bladder diverticula include the following: Recurrent urinary tract infections due to urine stagnating in the pouch. Lower abdominal fullness, pain and discomfort.

Results: The average operating time was 160 minutes (range 120-230 minutes), and the average blood loss was 150 mL (range 80-200 mL).

Rupture of a bladder diverticulum is a rare occurrence, and its diagnosis is difficult. An earlier diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. MDCT cystography should be used as the first-line modality when evaluating for a suspected bladder rupture, even in patients with nontraumatic bladder rupture.

The recovery from UD surgery usually takes two to three weeks. You’ll need to be on antibiotics for up to a week following surgery. You’ll also have a catheter during the recovery process. This is a tube placed in your bladder to help you urinate.

Urinary problems Diverticulitis can lead to the inflamed part of the bowel being in contact with the bladder. This may cause urinary problems, such as: pain when urinating (dysuria) needing to urinate more often than usual.

Once diverticula form, they do not disappear by themselves. Fortunately, most patients with diverticulosis do not have symptoms, and therefore do not need treatment.

Bladder diverticulum are outpouchings from the bladder wall, whereby mucosa herniates through the bladder wall.

Cystoscopy (placing a scope into the bladder via the urethra). Congenital or acquired diverticula do not always require treatment, particularly if they are not associated with urinary infections, bladder stones, or urinary reflux (backward flow of urine into the kidneys).

While the congenital form rarely requires any specific treatment, those who acquire bladder diverticulum later often need some kind of medical care. The condition presents as a pouch on the bladder wall. In the case of congenital bladder diverticulum, some of the bladder lining pokes through a weak section of the bladder wall.

Diverticulae may be congenital (primary) or acquired (secondary) and a range of causes of urinary bladder diverticula are described. Acquired diverticula are more common, usually occurring the context of a trabeculated bladder, resulting from chronic bladder outlet obstruction. Radiographic features.
