“…In this context, some investigators have recommended previous experience in RARP before approaching a retrovesical mass with the robotic technique. 15 In the present case, the diagnostic workup could safely exclude primary or secondary malignancies of the SVs, avoiding any need for intraoperative biopsies. NS RALV provided easy access to the retrovesical anatomic structures, with optimal exposure of the SV mass and guaranteed optimal functional and oncologic outcomes.…”

“…12,13 To date, only 2 cases of SV cystadenoma have been managed with RALV using a transperitoneal approach. 14,15 This technique replicates the surgical principles of posterior approach to SVs during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In this context, some investigators have recommended previous experience in RARP before approaching a retrovesical mass with the robotic technique.…”

A 47-year-old patient had been referred to our center for gross hematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). His medical history was unremarkable, and no comorbidities were present. The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 1.7 ng/mL. The digital rectal examination revealed a tense and elastic mass with undefined boundaries, cranially to the prostate. The physical examination and laboratory test results were otherwise normal. Transabdominal ultrasonography showed no lesions in the upper urinary tract; however, high-resolution transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) confirmed the presence of a multiseptated, solid-cystic pelvic mass occupying the retrovesical space. No suspected areas were detected in the peripheral zone of the prostate. In-office cystoscopy was performed to rule out a bladder malignancy. No lesions were found within the bladder; however, unusual bleeding from the seminal colliculus was found. The right ureteral orifice had also been pushed cranially, likely by extrinsic compression.

“…It is worth mentioning that robotic-assisted laparoscopy shows significant advantages in shortening operative time and reducing complications. 15 A study reported successful removal of a large 17.2 cm SVC by robotic-assisted laparoscopy within 56 min of console time; 16 however, such reports are very few, and robotic-assisted laparoscopy is only equipped in a handful of hospitals currently.…”

Clinical outcomes of transperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing and fenestration under seminal vesiculoscopy for seminal vesicle cysts

Symptomatic seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs), especially those of a large size, can be removed by surgical treatments. Currently, open surgeries for SVC are rarely performed due to their extensive surgical trauma, and minimally invasive surgical therapies for treating seminal vesicle cysts are still in the early stages. In addition, relevant studies are mostly confined to case reports. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 53 patients who had received transperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing or fenestration under seminal vesiculoscopy for SVC in our institution. Both surgeries decreased the cyst volume to a significant extent; however, according to the remnant lesion size after rechecking images, seminal vesiculoscopic fenestration tended to have a higher recurrence than laparoscopic unroofing. Regarding complications, two individuals in the laparoscopic unroofing group experienced ureteral injury and rectal injury, while patients in the fenestration group only had temporary hemospermia, which indicates that fenestration surgery tends to have less severe complications than laparoscopic unroofing. There was no solid evidence confirming semen improvement after these surgical therapies in our study. Future studies with a prospective design, larger sample size, and longer follow-up period are required to verify and further explore our findings.
