Urachal remnants are a group of rare anatomical anomalies that include cysts, diverticula, and tumors. We present a case of a young female patient with dyspareunia and dysorgasmia related to a urachal cyst.
Case:
A patient with unique presentation of urachal cyst treated robotically. Patient had complete resolution of symptoms postoperatively.
Conclusion:
Robot-assisted excision of the urachal remnant provided durable symptom relief.
