Laparoscopic excision of a prostatic utricle in a child.
Pediatr Surg Int. 2003 Sep; 19(7):557-8.PS

Abstract

Prostatic utricle cysts result from incomplete regression of Mullerian duct structures and occur most frequently in males with perineal or peno-scrotal hypospadias. Utricular cysts may present with various signs and symptoms including urinary tract infection, pain and post-void incontinence, a palpable abdominal mass or recurrent epididymitis. Treatment is reserved for symptomatic cysts and various techniques have been described including transurethral deroofing, endoscopic incision or surgical excision by suprapubic, posterior and midline transvesical approaches. We present a successful minimally invasive approach for excision of a prostatic utricle cyst in a child. Laparoscopic excision is a safe and viable alternative to open procedures in the surgical treatment of symptomatic utricle cysts in childhood. The presence of a cystoscope within the utricle orifice aids identification and safe dissection of the utricular remnant.
