Skin incision and port placement for laparoscopic removal of a urachal remnant. After making a zigzag skin incision in the umbilicus, the fascial opening on the cephalic side of the urachus was dissected from the umbilicus. Then, on the cephalic side of the urachus and the medial umbilical ligaments, an EZ access®, which is a silicon cap for a wound retractor (Lap Protector®), was inserted intraperitoneally. Another three 5-mm ports were inserted under direct vision on the left side of the abdomen
