Robotic excision of a giant seminal vesicle cyst

Abstract

Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by unilateral renal agenesis, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and seminal vesicle cyst. This syndrome is caused by an embryonic malformation of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. Seminal vesicle cysts are commonly reported, and men with these cysts often present with infertility. This report presents a case of a giant seminal vesicle cyst that was incidentally found while evaluating for bowel symptoms. The seminal vesicle cyst was successfully managed by robot-assisted excision.
