Percutaneous resection of anteriorly located midline prostatic cyst: A case report and description of technique
1Urology Division, Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, King Saud University, P.O.Box 7805, 11472, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction:
Midline prostatic cysts are common and are usually discovered incidentally. However, anterior midline prostatic cysts are considered rare.
Presentation Of Case:
We report a 36-year-old man who presented with severe lower urinary tract symptoms. The patient was diagnosed with an anterior midline prostatic cyst bulging into the bladder. The location of the cyst did not allow for a safe transurethral resection. He was managed successfully through a percutaneous approach.
Conclusion:
Percutaneous resection of an anteriorly located prostatic cyst is simple and safe. This procedure is advised if bladder neck injury is possible during transurethral resection to avoid retrograde ejaculation.
