Ureteral diverticulum (UD) is a rare condition. It can be congenital, acquired, or an abortive ureteral duplication. Majority can be managed conservatively. The symptomatic and complicated diverticulum entails an intervention. There have been reports of UD treated with open reconstructive surgery, nephrectomy, and laparoscopic surgeries. We present here a case of UD that presented with loin pain and decreased renal function and underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic diverticulectomy and ureteroureteral anastomosis. UD is a rare condition with only 47 cases reported in the literature. Management depends on symptoms and complications. Our case is the first in the literature to be managed robotically.
输尿管憩室（UD）是一种罕见的病症。它可以是先天性的、后天获得性的，或者是未完全发育的输尿管重复畸形。大多数情况下可采用保守治疗。有症状的和复杂的憩室需要进行干预。已有关于采用开放重建手术、肾切除术和腹腔镜手术治疗输尿管憩室的报道。我们在此呈现一例因腰痛和肾功能减退就诊的输尿管憩室病例，该病例接受了机器人辅助腹腔镜憩室切除术和输尿管输尿管吻合术。输尿管憩室是一种罕见病症，文献中仅报道了47例。治疗方法取决于症状和并发症。我们的病例是文献中首例采用机器人手术治疗的病例。
