Abstract
Objectives:
To determine the role of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of urachal disorders.
Methods:
A case report and literature review of laparoscopic urachal cyst procedures.
Results:
A 21-year-old man presented with a draining sinus at the umbilicus. A diagnosis of a urachal sinus was made. The patient underwent a laparoscopic excision of the sinus and cyst.
Conclusions:
Minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery are the preferred means of managing urologic diseases such as the urachal cyst.
