Abstract
Objectives

To present an original technique for laparoscopic vesical diverticulectomy without the need of dissecting the diverticular wall, thereby making the procedure safe and significantly simpler.

Material and methods

Four patients were operated from September 2014 and April 2016. The diagnosis was made by ultrasonography in all cases, and the study included blood and urine analyses with urine cultures, urine cytology, contrast-enhanced CT scans, prostate symptom questionnaire (International Prostate Symptom Score), flowmetry and cystoscopy. One case required transurethral prostate resection at first.

Results

The medium age of the patients was 64 years (range: 56–71). The medium diverticulum size was 4cm (range: 3–6). The location was retrotrigonal in all cases, on the left side in 2 cases, right retromeatic in 1 case and near the midline in 1 case. The medium surgical time was 146mins (range, 120–180), being shorter in each new case. There were no significant bleeding, complications or conversion to open surgery in any of the cases. The postoperative period had no incidences. The hospital stay was 3 days in 3 cases and 48hrs in the other case (medium, 3.5 days). The catheter was withdrawn in the outpatient clinic at 14 days.

Conclusions

The initial experience with the technique described above shows it to be safe and reproducible, with similar results to other current laparoscopic techniques. Avoiding the dissection of the diverticular wall significantly reduces the technical difficulty of the procedure.

Resumen
Objetivos

Presentar una técnica original para la diverticulectomía vesical laparoscópica sin necesidad de disecar la pared diverticular, haciendo el procedimiento seguro y significativamente más simple.

Material y métodos

Entre septiembe de 2014 a abril de 2016 se intervinieron 4 pacientes. El diagnóstico se realizó en todos los casos por ecografía, y el estudio incluyó un análisis de sangre y orina con urocultivo, citologías urinarias, TAC con contraste, cuestionario de síntomas prostáticos (IPSS), flujometría y cistoscopia. Un caso precisó resección transuretral de próstata en un primer tiempo.

Resultados

La edad media de los pacientes fue de 64 años (rango: 56-71). El tamaño diverticular medio fue de 4cm (rango: 3-6). La localización fue retrotrigonal en todos los casos, 2 de ellos en el lado izquierdo, uno retromeático derecho y un cuarto próximo a la línea media. El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue de 146min (rango: 120-180), acortándose en cada nuevo caso. No hubo sangrado significativo, complicaciones o conversión a cirugía abierta en ningún caso. El postoperatorio cursó sin incidencias. La estancia hospitalaria fue de 3 días en 3 casos y 48h en el otro (media 3,5días). La sonda se retiró ambulatoriamente a los 14 días.

Conclusiones

La experiencia inicial con la técnica descrita demuestra ser segura y reproducible, con resultados similares a otras técnicas laparoscópicas actuales. Eludir la disección de la pared diverticular reduce la dificultad técnica del procedimiento de forma significativa.
