Abstract
Seminal vesicle (SV) cystic masses are rarely encountered entities in daily clinical practice. They are mostly asymptomatic and require no treatment; however, surgical removal of the cyst is highly effective treatment in symptomatic cases. Due to embryological mesonephric duct abnormality, surgical SV cysts most often present as a part of Zinner's syndrome (renal agenesis, ipsilateral SV cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction). In this video article, we summarise our minimally invasive surgical approach to two consecutive cases of symptomatic SV cyst at our institution.
