| Resumen en inglés | Abnormalities of the urachus in adults are uncommon. Urachal tract remnants, which abnormally remain patent, may be responsible for abdominal pain and infection. The persistence of the urachus can lead to several abnormalities; and the patent urachus is one of the less frequent. A 25-year-old man presented a fluid secretion from the umbilicus that bled once and had three previous episodes of abdominal pain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed a patent urachus, which was confirmed by anatomopathological examination. The goal of this article is to report an urachal excision in a young adult with persistence of a patent urachus fully performed laparoscopically |
