Although transurethral techniques demonstrated favorable outcomes in the 1970s and 1980s, they have largely fallen out of favor. This study revisits transurethral endoscopic management of large, symptomatic BD, combined with Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) and coexisting BD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent combined HoLEP with transurethral endoscopic management of bladder diverticulum (C-HoLEP\u2013TUBD) between May 2017 and January 2025. Following HoLEP, the diverticular neck was circumferentially resected, and the diverticular mucosa was fulgurated using bipolar cautery. Follow-up cystography was obtained 6\u201312 weeks postoperatively and perioperative data were collected and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six patients (mean age: 72\u2009+\u20097.46 years) underwent the procedure. The mean prostate volume was 91\u2009\u00b1\u200943\u00a0cc, and mean BD size was 8.57\u2009\u00b1\u20095.28\u00a0cm. Preoperative Qmax averaged 4.76 ml\/s, and mean post-void residual (PVR) was 372.8\u00a0cc. At 3-month follow-up, Qmax improved to 25.74\u2009\u00b1\u200922.4 ml\/s, and PVR decreased to 22\u2009\u00b1\u200923.24\u00a0cc. Mean diverticulum size reduced to 1.7\u2009\u00b1\u20091.19\u00a0cm, representing an of 81.89\u2009\u00b1\u200915.09% reduction.
