Zusammenfassung: | Seminal vesicle calculi are a rare entity that may present with hematospermia, painful ejaculation, or urinary complaints. We present a case of a 40-year-oldmale with complaints of hematospermia, ejaculatory pain, and perineal discomfort in the last five years. A 7 mm left seminal vesicle calculi were diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a laparoscopic robot-assisted vesiculectomy was performed. All the complaints improved completely after treatment.Seminal vesicle lithiasis should be kept in mind when evaluating patients with hematospermia and ejaculatory pain. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and magnetic resonance imaging are the best radiology techniques to diagnose this kind of lithiasis. Different surgical treatments can be used to treat these calculi, depending on the size and location of the calculi and the surgical experience of the surgeon. |
