Due to its rarity, the optimal approach to these tumors is unknown. Previous series describe a retrograde approach for urachal mass excision. We present an antegrade robotic approach to en bloc urachal mass excision. METHODS: After IRB approval was granted, retrospective review was carried on all urachal masses at our institution. All robotic-assisted laparoscopic urachal mass excisions with partial cystectomy were included. Patient demographics as well as intra- and post-operative findings were evaluated. We then selected the most recent urachal mass en bloc excision to highlight our approach these rare entities. All procedures were performed with the da Vinci® Xi or Si platforms (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA). RESULTS: A total of 12 patients (5 females and 7 males) were identified with mean age of 52.8 years (SD±13.2). Mean BMI was 28.3 (SD±6.6) kg/m2. The majority of masses were discovered on incidental imaging (58.3%) with umbilical drainage (25%) or gross hematuria (16.7%). There were a total of three patients (25%) diagnosed with urachal adenocarcinoma in the specimen. Mean operative time was 147 minutes (SD±52 minutes) with mean estimated blood loss of 19.2 mL (SD±19.7 mL). Mean mass size was found to be 5.4 cm (SD±2.7cm) and average length of stay was 1.1 days (SD±0.3 days). All patients underwent an antegrade approach to en bloc removal of the urachal mass. CONCLUSIONS: This video demonstrates an antegrade approach to en bloc urachal mass excision and partial cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection that is familiar to most Urologists.
