Abstract

Urachal remnants have potential for infectious complications and malignancy and are treated surgically to reduce these complications. When an urachal cyst or remnant is diagnosed, they have traditionally been removed through an open abdominal approach. With a laparoscopic approach, the advantage is fewer complications, safety and superior cosmesis. Design: 52 year old female patient with an urachal remnant diagnosed on routine CT scan. Past medical history of colon cancer, appendiceal cancer and a surgical history of a total abdominal hysterectomy, colon resection and cholecystectomy.
