  • Title: Laparoscopic management for urachal cyst in a 9-year-old boy.
    Author: Kojima Y, Hayashi Y, Yasui T, Itoh Y, Maruyama T, Kohri K.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 2007; 39(3):771-4. PubMed ID: 17203350.
    Abstract:
    We report a boy with urachal cyst managed laparoscopically. A 9-year-old boy was referred from another hospital with a history of low abdominal pain. We laparoscopically excised the urachal cyst, removing all structures within the umbilicovesical fascia, including the urachus and each medial umbilical ligament, as well as the associated peritoneum from the umbilicus to the bladder dome. Laparoscopic management of urachal disease can be performed safely, with minimal postoperative pain, excellent cosmetic results and early ambulation. We advocate the use of laparoscopic treatment of urachal anomalies in children.
