Removal of bladder diverticula

A bladder diverticulum is a bulge in the bladder wall. This can result in incomplete emptying of the urinary bladder, which in turn can lead to cystitis or the development of a bladder stone. Surgical treatment is then necessary. This can be carried out, for example, with robotic assistance or via an abdominal incision.

Cystoscopy

How it works

In this video, you will learn everything important about cystoscopy – an endoscopic examination of the urinary bladder in men and women.

Purpose: Clarification of subtle changes in the bladder wall, e.g. in the case of blood in the urine, suspected tumours, bladder stones or emptying disorders.
Procedure: Examination under sterile conditions with lubricating gel and local anaesthesia.
In women: Use of a rigid endoscope – the short, straight urethra allows a simple examination.
In men: Use of a flexible endoscope that adapts to the natural curves of the urethra – making it low-pain and gentle.
Technology: Modern video optics ("chip-on-the-tip") provide clear images; if necessary, minor procedures or tissue sampling can be carried out directly.
Advantages: Reliable diagnostics, precise assessment of the bladder wall, practically painless today.
