| Abstract (English): |
Zinner’s syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital malformation of the seminal vesicles and ipsilateral upper urinary tract which is characterized by the triad of ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction, seminal vesicle cysts, and renal agenesis. We report an 18-year-old male who presented intermittent gross hematuria and hematospermia and ejaculation volume diminution. ZS was diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate, among other complementary studies requested. We performed a minimally laparoscopic resection of the left seminal vesicle. The postoperative was uneventful symptoms resolved, and 3 months later semen analysis showed increase in ejaculation volume. Currently, the minimally invasive approach is feasible and effective for the treatment of the seminal vesicle cysts excision in the ZS. We presented a symptomatic patient treated by a laparoscopic approach with successful middle follow-up results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
El síndrome de Zinner (ZS) es una malformación congénita rara de las vesículas seminales y del tracto urinario superior ipsolateral que se caracteriza por la tríada de obstrucción del conducto eyaculatorio ipsolateral, quistes de vesículas seminales y agenesia renal. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 18 años que presentó hematuria macroscópica intermitente y hemospermia y disminución del volumen de eyaculación. El diagnóstico de ZS se realizó mediante resonancia magnética (RM) de próstata, entre otros estudios complementarios solicitados. Realizamos una resección mínimamente laparoscópica de la vesícula seminal izquierda. El postoperatorio se resolvió sin complicaciones y 3 meses después el análisis de semen mostró un aumento en el volumen de eyaculación. Actualmente, el abordaje mínimamente invasivo es factible y efectivo para el tratamiento de la escisión de quistes de vesículas seminales en el ZS. Presentamos un paciente sintomático tratado por vía laparoscópica con seguimiento medio exitoso. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
