Abstract

A case of seminal vesicle cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis is uncommon. An excision of a seminal vesicle cyst was successfully performed using a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach in 27-year-old male affected by recurrent perineal discomfort and post-ejaculatory pain. The operative time and blood loss were 85 minutes and 50ml, respectively. No postoperative complications were noted, and the patient discharged on the 5th postoperative day. Laparoscopic excision of seminal vesicle cystic disease is an effective surgical procedure, with excellent intraoperative access and minimal postoperative morbidity.
