    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of transurethral unroofing in treatment of seminal vesicle cyst. METHODS: Seven patients seminal vesicle cyst 2.1 cm x 3.0 cm x 3.3 cm - 5.5 cm x 6.3 cm x 10.2 cm in size, aged 36 (21 - 65), with the symptoms of hematospermia (4 cases), hematuria (3 cases), epididymitis (2 cases), dysuria (1 case), bladder irritation symptoms (1 case), bloody mucus of urethral orifice after miction (1 case), perineal discomfort (2 case), and infertility (3 cases), underwent transurethral unroofing of seminal vesicle cyst. RESULTS: Operation was performed successful on all 7 patients. The mean operative time was 20 min, the mean estimated operative blood loss was 5 ml, and the mean hospital stay was 3 d. Follow-up was conduced for 28.3 months (8 months-10 years). All patients were free of symptoms after surgery, without recurrence and complications that needed further therapy. Two of the 3 patients with infertility succeeded in fertilization 1 year after surgery, and 1 patient with retrograde ejaculation underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection and succeeded in fertilization 6 months after operation. CONCLUSION: Transurethral unroofing provides an effective approach to the seminal vesicle cyst with minimal invasion, short hospitalization, and rapid recovery.
