V3-11 SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF EJACULATORY DUCT OBSTRUCTION DUE TO PROSTATIC UTRICULAR CYST

I-2: Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction

Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) underlies 1-5% of male infertility, although the diagnosis of EDO can be complex, treatment is well established and can be very effective. Part of reason that this condition probably is underdiagnosed, is because of its rarity, subtle presentation and the concomitantly low index of suspicion held by physicians. The causes of EDO are divided into congenital and...

Ejaculatory duct obstruction.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW We surveyed the growing literature on ejaculatory duct obstruction and provide suggestions regarding its diagnosis and management. RECENT FINDINGS Ejaculatory duct obstruction is a rare cause of male infertility. With the advent of the high resolution transurethral ultrasound (TRUS) technology, there has been an increase in diagnosis of this disorder. As for the treatment, i...

The clinical curative effect of transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct for iatrogenic ejaculatory duct obstruction after prostatic hyperthermia.

Infravesical obstruction due to benign intraurethral prostatic cyst.

We report a case of symptomatic intraurethral prostatic cyst in a 42-yr-old man without clinical evidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The intraurethral cyst makes it unique from the all previously reported cases of prostatic cysts located medially within the prostate. Transurethral resection of the cyst with limited resection of the prostatic tissue at the base of the cyst was performed wi...

[Transurethral endoscopic treatment for chronic hematospermia caused by müllerian duct cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction].

Between June 1997 and September 1999, we performed transurethral unroofing (TUUR) in three patients with hematospermia that recurred repeatedly for one year or more. Patient 1 (48 years old) and Patient 2 (59 years old) were diagnosed as having müllerian duct cysts that communicated with the left ejaculatory duct, and Patient 3 (36 years old) as an ejaculatory duct obstruction with the right ej...
