Ureteral obstruction following transurethral resection of bladder cancer within the Hutch’s diverticulum

Here, we report a rare case of bladder cancer within the left congenital periureteral diverticulum, termed the Hutch’s diverticulum. Following transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, repeated pyelonephritis was caused by stricture of the diverticulum orifice and ureter. We attempted transurethral dilation and ureteral stenting, but the obstruction did not improve. The patient's renal dysfunction showed gradual progression due to recurrent left pyelonephritis as well as the ureteral obstruction. Therefore, we finally performed a partial cystectomy, involving stricture and ureteral reimplantation. No tumor recurrence was observed over 39 months, and renal dysfunction did not progress following partial cystectomy.
