Laparoscopic Excision of an Infected Urachal Sinus in a Teenager: A Rare Case Report With Histological Highlights.

During the development of the coelomic cavity, there is accessible communication between the urinary bladder and the umbilical wall through the urachus. Persistence of this tract results in urachal pathologies with variable symptoms. We present a case of an infected urachal cyst presenting as an umbilical mass with clear discharge in a 19-year-old male successfully managed laparoscopically.

Video. Single-incision laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy of colorectal liver metastasis.

Laparoscopic surgery via a single port is an evolving technique being applied to an increasing variety of operations [1]. Multiple series over the past 3 years have shown single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy to be feasible and safe [2]. The ergonomic difficulties of single-port laparoscopy include a loss of instrument triangulation and operation with camera and instruments in parallel.
