Abstract

A few cases of laparoscopic surgery for urachal remnant in children has been reported in English literature. With recent developments in minimal invasive surgery, laparoscopic approach for urachal remnant in adulthood is recommended by some laparoscopic surgeons because of its technical feasibility and safety as well as cosmesis. Recently we experienced a case of complicated urachal remnant in a 14-month-old girl, who was managed by laparoscopic approach. At presentation, she complained of high fever and lower urinary tract symptoms. After 6 weeks of antibiotics therapy, laparoscopic surgery was performed transperitoneally via 3 ports. Our experience suggests that laparoscopic excision of urachal remnant can be performed easily and safely in children.
