Transvesical resection of a mucocele after laparoscopically assisted anorectal pull-through for imperforate anus with rectobulbar urethral fistula.
Mucocele formation is a rare complication after imperforate anus repair. Abdominal cyst enucleation or resection, transrectal resection by a posterior sagittal approach, and perineal cyst resection are the standard surgical options. The authors report the first patient who underwent transvesical mucocele resection.
