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.
