Treatment is primarily surgical to excise the infected cyst. Surgical approaches include a lower midline laparotomy or minimally invasive (MI) techniques.Case:We present a case of a young male with an infected UC that was treated with a single-incision laparoscopy surgery. The operative technique is described.Conclusion:This approach is a safe and feasible option for the MI management of UCs.
