[Laparoscopic treatment of a symptomatic seminal vesicle cyst]

Most seminal vesicle cysts have an embryological origin and are often associated with homolateral renal agenesis. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle cyst has been greatly improved by progress in medical imaging, particularly ultrasound, which reveals a retrovesical cystic image and homolateral renal agenesis. Transperineal or laparoscopic vesiculectomy is technically difficult and is associated with high morbidity. The authors report a case of laparoscopic vesiculectomy with an uneventful postoperative course.
