We describe a 12-year-old boy who presented with severe persistent right iliac fossa pain associated with subjective fever, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed findings consistent with appendicitis. The patient underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy; however, his postoperative course was remarkable for a low urine output and urine leakage from the suprapubic port site. A CT cystography showed a vesicourachal diverticulum and conservative management was offered. This management consisted of Foley catheter placement, hourly monitoring of the patient\u2019s urine output, antibiotic prophylaxis, daily laboratory investigations and a cystography performed after 7 days. Overall, injury to the vesicourachal diverticulum is rare, and surgeons should be aware of this rare clinical entity and exercise caution during port placement. Surgeons should also have a high index of suspicion to identify these injuries and appropriately manage the condition early.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjz293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,5]],"date-time":"2019-09-05T11:41:27Z","timestamp":1567683687000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Iatrogenic
