Abstract
The treatment of choice for persistent urachal anomaly is radical surg ical excision intended to prevent complications, notably malignancy in a retained remnant. We report a case of the radical laparoscopic exci sion of an infected urachal cyst. This effective alternative to an ope n technique has the advantages inherent in minimally invasive surgery.
