  • Title: [A case of a urachal fistula].
    Author: Agostini M, Rück F, Valenghi D, Frasca P, Chinaglia D, Beluffi L.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1997 Oct; 52(10):1243-6. PubMed ID: 9471580.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of urachal fistula diagnosed after repeated omphalitis, this disease was associated with coronal hypospadias. Diagnosis was done thanks to a fistulography; subsequently, during the operation, to evidence the fistula, this was injected with methylene blue, this expedient showed that the fistula was longer than that disclosed from fistulography. To carry out a complete extirpation of the fistula the authors were bound to make a cystotomy. The course after operation was good and the patient discharged after a few days. After 5 years the patient is in perfect health. This case allowed some anatomic, clinical and semeiotic considerations.
