Summary

Endoscopic surgery for utriculocele obstruction improved seminal duct function in male sterility patients. Procedures increased ejaculate volume, enhanced sperm quality, and led to a successful pregnancy via insemination of capacitated semen.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Science

Context:

  • Utriculocele is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the seminal vesicles.
  • Male infertility is a significant concern, with anatomical factors playing a role.
  • Endoscopic surgical techniques are advancing for urogenital conditions.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic surgery in managing utriculocele-related male infertility.
  • To assess the impact of transurethral resection of the utricular capsule on seminal parameters and fertility outcomes.

Summary:

  • Twelve patients with utriculocele were studied; six presented with infertility and underwent endoscopic surgery.
  • Transurethral resection of the utricular capsule successfully relieved distal seminal duct obstruction in all patients, increasing ejaculate volume.
  • Sperm density and motility improved in 50% of cases, and one patient achieved pregnancy through insemination of capacitated semen (ICA).

Impact:

  • Endoscopic resection of utriculocele offers a viable treatment option for male infertility caused by seminal duct obstruction.
  • The procedure demonstrates potential for improving semen quality and restoring fertility.
  • This surgical approach may enhance reproductive outcomes in select infertile men.
