1Urologická klinika FNsP, Kosice.
Summary
Seminal vesicle abscesses can be diagnosed early using transrectal ultrasonography. Effective treatment involves antibiotics, seminal vesicle puncture, and pus evacuation.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Abscesses of the seminal vesicles are uncommon but serious conditions.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the diagnostic utility of transrectal ultrasonography for seminal vesicle abscesses.
- To present effective therapeutic strategies for this condition.
Main Methods:
- Case-history review of two patients diagnosed with seminal vesicle abscesses.
- Utilization of transrectal ultrasonography for diagnostic imaging.
- Implementation of antibiotic therapy, seminal vesicle puncture, and pus evacuation.
Main Results:
- Transrectal ultrasonography facilitated early and accurate diagnosis in both cases.
- Combined antibiotic therapy, puncture, and evacuation led to successful patient outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Transrectal ultrasonography is a valuable tool for the early detection of seminal vesicle abscesses.
- A multimodal treatment approach including antibiotics and surgical drainage is effective.
