The 12-mm port, used for passage of a 30° optic camera, which allows for better visualization of the anterior abdominal wall structures, was positioned in the midline, halfway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. A 10-mm port for the instrumentation (i.e. diathermy unit, dissector, scissors, and needle holder) was placed under direct vision at the umbilical level, laterally to the right rectus abdominis muscle, to avoid injury to the epigastric vessels.

Once the bladder was reached, a small patch of the vesical dome was resected and subsequently closed with a 2/0 continuous absorbable suture. The urachus was placed in a specimen bag (EndoCatch Gold, Tyco, U.S.A.) and removed through the 12-mm port incision. The bladder was then filled with sterile saline to rule out leaks.

As in open surgery, laparoscopy should follow the same principles of complete removal of the urachal remnants, extending from the umbilicus to the bladder dome.
