Transumbilical LESS surgery with Y-shaped incisions and subsequent three-flap umbilicoplasty is feasible in patients with symptomatic urachal remnants. Regarding postoperative cosmesis, the higher CS score suggests that this technique is superior to CL surgery. Furthermore, the selection of this procedure was an independent predictor of good postoperative esthetic outcomes.
