Symptomatic cystic seminal vesicle: a laparoscopic approach for effective treatment.
This case report highlights a symptomatic cystic seminal vesicle lesion, treated laparoscopically. A young adult male known to have congenital right renal agenesis presented with a history of recurrent right iliac fossa pain, as well as deep pelvic discomfort. The preoperative evaluation revealed a 7 x 4.5 x 4 cm cystic seminal vesicle mass. After discovery of the mass, the patient underwent a transperitoneal laparoscopic excision of the lesion. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day and had an uneventful recovery. There were no complications noted during a routine follow-up. The laparoscopic approach was shown to be effective in the management of this rare condition.
