Why ICD-10 codes are important
A bladder diverticulum is a pouch in the bladder wall that a person may either be born with ("congenital") or get later ("acquired"). A congenital bladder diverticulum forms when some of the bladder lining pokes through a weak part in the bladder wall.

The muscular wall of your bladder tends to grow thicker if it has to work harder to urinate. It can also thicken if it becomes irritated and inflamed. Scarring of the bladder wall may also cause it to thicken.
Bladder diverticulum occurs when a defect is found between the detrusor muscle fibers, which will lead to herniation of the bladder mucosa. The causes are acquired or congenital. Acquired causes tend to form multiple herniation, and most of the time is due to bladder outlet obstruction.
The prevalence of bladder diverticula in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is approximately 6%. Although many bladder diverticula are asymptomatic, they can be incidentally discovered on evaluation for hematuria, bladder outlet obstruction, or urinary tract infection.
Urinary bladder diverticula are commonly asymptomatic and usually discovered incidentally. Common symptoms related to urinary bladder diverticula include hematuria, urinary tract infections, urinary retention, malignancy, and rarely pain from rupture [8].
Bladder diverticulectomy is a surgical operation for symptomatic or large bladder diverticula. Typically, bladder diverticula are because of infravesical obstruction, although congenital diverticula can occur that may be large and symptomatic.
Urostomy pouches are special bags that are used to collect urine after bladder surgery. Instead of going to your bladder, urine will go outside of your abdomen into the urostomy pouch. The surgery to do this is called a urostomy.

doctors diagnose bladder diseases using different tests. These include urine tests, x-rays, and an examination of the bladder wall with a scope called a cystoscope. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. It may include medicines and, in severe cases, surgery.
A representative example of neoplastic bladder disorder is bladder carcinoma. Disease or disorder of the urinary bladder, the musculomembranous sac in the anterior of the pelvic cavity that serves as a reservoir for urine, which it receives through the ureters and discharges through the urethra.
