Abstract | PURPOSE: In a retrospective nonrandomized study, we compared our experience with transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP) plus sequential laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy with a series of combined open bladder diverticulectomies with transvesical prostatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, the endolaparoscopic approach has proved to be safe, effective, and minimally invasive and therefore superior to transvesical prostatectomy and open bladder diverticulectomy. Its only disadvantage is the longer operative time.
