  • Title: Laparoscopic management of patent urachus in an adult man.
    Author: Pust A, Ovenbeck R, Erbersdobler A, Dieckmann KP.
    Journal: Urol Int; 2007; 79(2):184-6. PubMed ID: 17851292.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old man presented with recurrent urinary discharge from the umbilicus. A diagnosis of persistent patent urachus was established by magnetic resonance imaging. Radical excision of urachal remnant tissue was accomplished by laparoscopic surgery using four ports. Magnetic resonance imaging is diagnostic in urachal remnants. Radical excision of urachal remnants may safely be done by laparoscopic access.
