Özet

Objective: Urachal remnants are rare conditions in children with controversial management. Many of them present with complaints; however, the causality between the symptom and the condition is unclear, and a significant proportion of patients are incidentally identified. Meanwhile, indications of the surgical correction are controversial and the best way of surgical approach depends on the attending physician's experience. This study aimed to evaluate the results of surgically corrected urachal conditions in children.
