Minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic excision, have demonstrated effectiveness for symptomatic cases. This report highlights the advantages of a three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic approach in managing a large PUC in a 6-month-old boy. A 6-month-old male presenting with urinary obstruction and recurrent infections underwent diagnostic imaging and isotope renography, revealing a large PUC with associated nonfunctioning right ectopic kidney and ureter opening in the cyst. A 3D laparoscopic excision of the cyst and associated structures was performed, followed by orchiopexy for the right intra-abdominal testis. The surgery was completed successfully in 70 min without complications. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient symptom-free during 2 years of follow-up. 3D laparoscopy offers superior visualization and ergonomics compared to traditional two-dimensional laparoscopy, making it a preferred option for complex pediatric pelvic surgeries. This case underscores its advantages in safety, efficiency, and surgical outcomes, especially in centers where robotic surgery may not be available at present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jiaps.jiaps_25_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T15:00:25Z","timestamp":1745852425000},"page":"418-421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Three-dimensional Laparoscopic Management of a Large Prostatic Utricle Cyst in a 6-month-old Boy: An Efficient Minimally Invasive Approach"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"30","author":[{"family":"Animesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Government Medical College, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vinay","family":"Shelke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Government Medical College, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhishek","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Government Medical College, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Himanshu","family":"Acharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Government Medical College, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikesh","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Government Medical College, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-7796.110016","article-title":"An abnormally large prostatic utricle cyst associated with unilateral renal agenesis","volume":"5","author":"Momin","year":"2013","journal-title":"Urol Ann"},{"key":"R2-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1186\/s12894-019-0450-z","article-title":"Prostatic utricles without external genital anomalies in children: Our experience, literature review, and pooling analysis","volume":"19","author":"Liu","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Urol"},{"key":"R3-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"424","DOI":"10.1111\/ases.12885","article-title":"Comparison of 3D versus 2D laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through (LAARP) for high anorectal malformations in children","volume":"14","author":"Agrawal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Asian J Endosc Surg"},{"key":"R4-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpurol.2018.07.015","article-title":"Robot-assisted laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle in a 3-year old","volume":"14","author":"Nguyen","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Pediatr Urol"},{"key":"R5-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"689","DOI":"10.1111\/iju.14543","article-title":"Surgical treatment for prostatic utricle cyst in children: A single-center report of 15 patients","volume":"28","author":"Dai","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int J Urol"},{"key":"R6-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"725","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpurol.2020.08.020","article-title":"Robotic-assisted excision of a prostatic utricle cyst in a 12-month boy with proximal hypospadia and 45X0\/46XY karyotype","volume":"16","author":"Macedo","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Pediatr Urol"},{"key":"R7-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1902","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(01)64898-5","article-title":"Endoscopic management of infected enlarged prostatic utricles and remnants of rectourethral fistula tracts of high imperforate anus","volume":"157","author":"Husmann","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"R8-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"557","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-003-0993-6","article-title":"Laparoscopic excision of a prostatic utricle in a child","volume":"19","author":"Willetts","year":"2003","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg Int"},{"key":"R9-20250505","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1750","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2013.01.054","article-title":"Work-related upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in paediatric laparoscopic surgery.
