Core Tip

Core Tip: Hutch diverticulum is an uncommon congenital anatomical defects in childhood, involving bladder and ureteral opening. Mostly cases are diagnosed in their first decades and predominately at solitary side. The symptoms prompting one to seek help at clinics include recurrent urinary tract infection, colic flank pain, and hematuria. If hutch diverticulum comes into existence, it will enlarge with every-time voiding. Indications for operation are dependent on complications from it or suspicious of malignant changes. Size of diverticulum and its anatomical complexities mainly determine the intricacies of the surgery. In our experiences, robotic-assisted surgery provides several advantages over open and laparoscopic ones.
