The role of bladder diverticula in the prevalence of acute urinary retention in patients with BPH who are candidates to surgery

Abstract: Introduction:The urinary bladder diverticula (BD) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a complication that can lead to urinary stasis, stone, urinary tract infection (UTI) and tumors. It's role in acute urinary retention (AUR) is not totally understood.Objectives:To determine the effect of BD size on AUR rates in patients with BPH candidates to surgery.Subjects and Methods:We performed a retrospective cohort study of 47 patients with BPH and BD who underwent BPH surgery associated to complete bla… Show more

“…In this study, the bladder explosion was not found. Iscaife et al 18 reported that the diverticula size of the BPH patients is associated the incidence of acute urinary retention (best correlation with 5.15 cm, sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 72%. AUc = 0.75 (p=0.01).…”

“…7 Though publications about acquired bladder diverticula are scarce, interestingly, the widespread use of medical treatment for BPH may be a cause of elevated incidence of diverticula due to an increased period of obstruction, leading to an increase of bladder damage. 8 In these cases, the diverticula can cause urine stasis and bladder wall damage, leading to complications including stone formation, UTIs, and tumors. Consequently, workup should include imaging, urinalysis, and cystoscopy to rule out these complications.…”

“…Recently, an in vivo study on rats showed how large bladder diverticula can alter bladder storage and emptying and can lead to dysfunctional voiding (14). Furthermore, bladder diverticula with a diameter > 5 cm seems to increase the risk of acute urinary retention in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients (15). These studies suggest that, in some cases, the surgical management of large bladder diverticula may be necessary.…”
