“…Patients with SVC also complained of lower abdominal pain, perineal discomfort or pain, and/or infertility (Miao et al, 2020; Li, 1991). Some patients with large SVC presented with a history of passing increasingly painful 'grit' in their ejaculate, and others complained of recurrent lower urinary tract infections (Williams, Christodoulidou, & Nigam, 2017; Hadidi, Hadidy, Alrabadi, Ahdul‐Wahab, & Murshidi, 2011). Differential diagnoses included posterior urethral haemangioma (Han, Zhou, Fan, Tian, & Zhang 2015; Tian et al, 2018).…”

To investigate the outcomes of transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy (TSV) for the treatment of seminal vesicle calculi (SVC), prostatic utricle calculi (PUC) and combination of them, a retrospective review on 27 patients with SVC and/or PUC who complained of intractable haematospermia was conducted. Patient demographics, disease duration, operation time, stone location and complications were recorded. The calculi in the seminal vesicle and/or prostatic utricle were removed by holmium laser lithotripsy and/or basket extraction. The stone composition was determined in 19 of 27 patients using Infrared spectroscopy. The average age and disease duration of patients were 39.4 years and 23.1 months respectively. The mean operative time was 78.5 min. We detected SVC, SVC and PUC, and PUC in 59.3% (16/27), 33.3% (9/27) and 7.4% (2/27) patients respectively. The stones were mainly composed of calcium oxalate dehydrate (COD), carbonate apatite (CA), COD and calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), CA and magnesium ammonium phosphate, CA and COM, and COD and uric acid in 42.1% (8/19), 21.1% (4/19), 15.8% (3/19), 15.8% (3/19), 5.3% (1/19) and 5.3% (1/19) cases respectively. No intraoperative and post‐operative complications were noted. These results suggested that SVC and PUC can be diagnosed and treated using TSVs.

“…The literature review on SVC from 1983 to date revealed a case of SVC reported in 1983 and, thereafter, most of the studies contained a single patient or small number of cases without reporting SVC features or aetiological analysis. SVC can be solitary or multiple and occur in different sizes . In the present study, we identified several cases with multiple SVC, most of which were yellow or yellow/brown with irregular shapes.…”

“…As shown in [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]), whilst the remaining six were original research articles [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Amongst all the articles included, only seven studies or cases analysed the composition of SVC with small case numbers.…”

Objective To report our experience in the diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and composition of seminal vesicle calculi (SVC). Patients and methods In the present study, we evaluated 20 patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to January 2018. All the patients were diagnosed with intractable haematospermia and SVC. The diagnosis was further confirmed by seminal vesiculoscopy. SVC were removed by basket extraction; with larger SVC fragmented by holmium laser before extraction. Scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the SVC composition. Results All operations were completed successfully without surgical complications. SVC were mostly composed of hydroxyapatite and protein, suggesting that they were produced by infections. Conclusions Seminal vesiculoscopy is a simple, minimally invasive technique that can be used for diagnostic confirmation and treatment of seminal vesiculitis with SVC. This study improves our understanding of SVC and provides a theoretical basis for the prevention of postoperative recurrence of SVC.

“…Se ha encontrado que la incidencia aumenta en pacientes mayores de 40 años y con comorbilidades tales como diabetes mellitus, prostatitis crónica, tuberculosis genitourinaria, esquistosomiasis, criptorquidia e hipospadias. [3][4][5] Su etiología y fisiopatología son inciertas, se han postulado una serie de teorías, las cuales plantean que la formación de los cálculos es generada por la alteración en el microambiente propio de las vesículas seminales. Dentro de ellas se producen sustancias como fructosa, proteínas, prostaglandinas, así como sustancias mucoides cubiertas por sales como: fosfato de calcio, carbonato, urato, fosfato y estruvita.…”

Introducción y Objetivos La litiasis en vesículas seminales es una entidad rara, diferentes alteraciones anatómicas que obstruyen los ductos eyaculadores favorecen la precipitación y formación de cálculos. Nuestro objetivo es actualizar el enfoque diagnóstico y terapéutico a propósito de un paciente con esa patología. Materiales y Métodos Se describe el caso de un paciente de 42 años con sintomatología urinaria no específica, asociado a dolor perineal, diagnosticado posteriormente con Síndrome de Löfgren. Dada la persistencia de síntomas, se le realiza UROTAC con evidencia de calcificaciones bilaterales en vesículas seminales. Por tratarse de un hallazgo infrecuente y sintomático, realizamos una revisión de la literatura que nos permitiera orientar el tratamiento. Resultados La litiasis vesicular se presenta con sintomatología poco específica. Existen ciertos factores que favorecen la formación de cálculos en las vesículas seminales como lo son el microambiente propio de las vesículas seminales y alteraciones anatómicas que favorecen la obstrucción del tracto urinario. El método de elección para el diagnóstico es la ultrasonografía transrectal, la cual se debe realizar en todos los pacientes con sospecha clínica y síntomas urinarios no específicos. El tratamiento de elección es la vesiculoscópia transuretral con litotricia. Actualmente se está evaluando la realización de la vesiculoscópia transuretral. Conclusiones La litiasis de vesículas seminales es una entidad rara, con presentación clínica variable. Su diagnóstico y manejo se convierten en un desafío para el urólogo, debido a que no existe una alternativa de manejo estándar, el manejo dependerá de la experiencia en técnicas endourológicas y disponibilidad de equipos.
