title: Successful transurethral drainage of bilateral seminal vesicle abscesses.
abstract: We report the successful management of bilateral seminal vesicle abscesses with transurethral unroofing and drainage of the abscess cavities. The diagnosis was confirmed by computerized tomography. Transurethral drainage became necessary after percutaneous drainage had proved to be inadequate.
