N N Stone et al. Urology. 1995 Jan.

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.
