Introduction. Urachus pathology is a complex problem in modern medicine due to a wide variety of clinical and morphological forms, low occurrence, both in children and especially in adulthood, the lack of publications related to the analysis of large groups of patients, and, consequently, algorithms and diagnostics. treatment of this pathology. In addition, there are unambiguous recommendations that determine the surgical access in the case of planned surgery, as well as the sequence and priority of the stages of treatment of purulent complications.
Purpose. Analyze the experience of treating urachus pathology in adults and use rational diagnostic and treatment algorithms.
Materials and methods: Analyzed case histories 37 patients were operated on from 6 clinics: mean age 33.8±14.8 years, 36 patients undergoing surgical treatment for urachus pathologies, out of 12 patients were operated with an «open» method and 24 - with a laparoscopic one. Results and discussion. The results of surgical treatment were assessed. It was determined that the method of choice for surgical treatment of patients with urachus pathology is laparoscopic excision of the urinary duct structures.
An algorithm for the diagnosis of urachus pathology in adults is proposed.
