Laparoscopic excision of urachal cyst

J F Siegel et al. J Urol. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

The treatment of choice for persistent urachal anomaly is radical surgical excision intended to prevent complications, notably malignancy in a retained remnant. We report a case of the radical laparoscopic excision of an infected urachal cyst. This effective alternative to an open technique has the advantages inherent in minimally invasive surgery.
