Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: A 31-year-old patient with a history of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma requiring tumor resection and pelvic reconstruction in infancy presented with a 3-year history of recurrent vulvar abscesses and voiding dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a fluid collection posterior to the pubic bone and inferior to the bladder. The objective was to demonstrate the key steps in the resection and repair of an anterior urethral diverticulum via robot-assisted laparoscopic approach.
