A totally extraperitoneal approach for endoscopic resection of a congenital prepubic sinus through the pubic symphysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A congenital prepubic sinus (CPS) is a rare congenital anomaly in which a duct remnant extends from the skin opening near the pubic symphysis to various parts and the lesions are mostly located in the preperitoneal space.
