Cystoscopy-guided robotic approach of prostatic utricle

Prostatic utricle (PU) is a rare condition due to incomplete regression of Mullerian duct structures usually associated with disorders of sexual development (DSD). Surgery is the gold standard for symptomatic patients, and different surgical approaches are described. The robot-assisted laparoscopic...

Description
Summary:	Prostatic utricle (PU) is a rare condition due to incomplete regression of Mullerian duct structures usually associated with disorders of sexual development (DSD). Surgery is the gold standard for symptomatic patients, and different surgical approaches are described. The robot-assisted laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle has recently been described in few reports as a feasible and safe approach, permitting to visualize the anatomy and move in a restricted and deep working place as the pelvic site. PU treated with a cystoscopy-guided robotic approach in a 2-year-old patient is presented with a review of the literature.
