ABSTRACT
A complicated urachal cyst requires surgical excision to prevent symptom recurrence and complications, most notably malignant degeneration. However, a traditional open excision is associated with significant morbidity and prolonged convalescence, especially in children. A seven year old male, with a complicated urachal cyst, underwent a laparoscopic excision of the urachal remnant. Through a transperitoneal approach, using three ports, the urachus was excised and separated from the bladder dome. We report our experience of a laparoscopic excision of an urachal cyst, with a review other reports, to find the efficacy and outcome of this approach as a minimally invasive alternative.
