Transrectal seminal vesiculography

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Radiology
• Pathology

Background:

• Seminal vesicle lesions require effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
• Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for evaluating these structures.

Observation:

• The transrectal needle approach provides direct access to the seminal vesicles.
• This technique facilitates various interventional procedures.

Findings:

• Biopsy of seminal vesicle lesions can be performed via transrectal needle guidance.
• Aspiration of seminal vesicle contents for cytology and culture is feasible.
• Contrast medium injection for radiographic evaluation is possible.
• Drainage of seminal vesicle cysts or abscesses can be achieved.

Implications:

• The transrectal needle approach offers a versatile tool for seminal vesicle lesion management.
• This technique may improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes for seminal vesicle pathologies.
