title: Laparoscopic removal of bladder diverticulum.
abstract: A large symptomatic bladder diverticulum in a 72-year-old man was removed through laparoscopic dissection. The surgical technique of laparoscopic diverticulectomy is described. Laparoscopic diverticulectomy can be done with minimal morbidity and has distinct advantages over other forms of treatment of bladder diverticula.
