The ureters, and vas deferens in males, are identified and the bladder is mobilized to expose the diverticulum. A hitch stitch can be used to retract the bladder. Alternatively, an additional working port may be placed in the suprapubic midline to aid with retraction. The diverticulum is mobilized circumferentially and the neck of the diverticulum is exposed. Great care is taken to avoid injury to the rectum and adjacent vagina in females. The balloon within the diverticulum is deflated and removed. The neck of the diverticulum is then ligated or transected and closed with an absorbable suture. Gentle irrigation through the urethral catheter may be used to test the integrity of the repair. The resected diverticulum is then removed through a working port or through a port site incision, which may be enlarged if necessary. A drain may be placed adjacent to the diverticulum per surgeon preference. The ports are then removed, and the port sites closed, in the usual fashion.
