title: Congenital seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A seminal vesicle cyst in combination with ipsilateral renal agenesis is rarely encountered. We present cases of this disease entity with symptoms, which were treated with a laparoscopic approach as a minimally invasive surgical treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  We experienced 4 patients with seminal vesicle cysts and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The mean age was 45.8 years. Chief complaints were perineal pain and hematospermia. Seminal vesicle cysts and remnant ureters were excised by laparoscopic surgery with transperitoneal approaches.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean operative time was 133.8 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 6.8 days. There were no operative complications or transfusions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In our report, patients of congenital seminal vesicle cyst associated with renal agenesis are presented. Laparoscopy is considered a minimal invasive management of these combined anomalies, providing a good image and an easy approach.
