ENDOUROLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF SEMINAL-VESICLE CYST

Cystic lesions in the region of the seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct s, or prostate are rare and can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challe nge. Open surgery is often necessary for definitive treatment. Recent refinements in transrectal ultrasound imaging and endoscopic instrumen tation have expanded the roles of these modalities in the management o f retrovesical cysts. We present a case in which a semirigid 6.9F uret eroscope was used to access and drain a seminal vesicle cyst transuret hrally, thereby obviating open surgery.
