Laparoscopic excision of a urachal cyst.
OBJECTIVE
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.
