Robot-assisted excision of seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis

Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2016 Jan 14;87(4):325-6. doi: 10.4081/aiua.2015.4.325.

Abstract

Seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs) associated with other genitourologic abnormalities are rare. Often associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis in a symptomatic patient. In symptomatic patients open surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The laparoscopic approach is a less invasive option. Recently robot-assisted management has gained a primary role for the treatment of this condition.
