This technique corresponds to a transvesical approach through the bladder neck opening. Hence, it is especially useful for well-visualized diverticula close to the ureteral orifice or on the posterior wall. Although other approaches may be better depending on the location of the diverticulum, it is considered a reasonable approach that does not require an additional cystotomy.
