Vesiculectomy

Vesiculectomy is a surgical operation that involves removing the seminal vesicle, a glandular organ that is located behind the prostate gland in men and plays an important role in the process of ejaculation.

Although this operation is extremely rarely performed at present, it can be prescribed in the presence of a tumor of the seminal vesicles. The tumor can be malignant (cancer) or benign (such as an adenoma). In any case, a vesiculectomy may be necessary to prevent the tumor from spreading and keep the man healthy.

Vesiculectomy can be performed either by open surgery or laparoscopically. In the first case, the surgeon makes a small incision in the lower abdomen and removes the seminal vesicle through this incision. In the second case, the surgeon makes several small incisions and uses a laparoscope - a thin tube with a camera and instruments - to remove the seminal vesicle.

After surgery, some complications may occur, such as bleeding, infection, decreased potency, or loss of urinary control. However, modern methods and technologies make it possible to minimize risks and achieve good results.

In general, vesiculectomy is a rarely used technique in modern urology and is prescribed only in the presence of a seminal vesicle tumor. Before the operation, a man must undergo all the necessary examinations and consultations with a urologist or oncologist in order to make an informed decision and choose the optimal treatment method.

Vesiculectomy is a surgical operation that involves removing the seminal vesicle.

The seminal vesicles (vesiculae seminales) are a paired organ of the male reproductive system located under the bladder. They perform the function of accumulating and removing prostate secretion, which is part of sperm.

Currently, vesiculectomy is performed extremely rarely - only in the case of a tumor or other pathological process in the seminal vesicles. Previously, this operation was used for chronic vesiculitis (inflammation of the seminal vesicles), but modern medical treatment methods make it possible to avoid such radical surgical intervention.

Vesiculectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Access is either transurethral (through the urethra) or by laparotomy (an incision in the anterior abdominal wall). The surgeon isolates and removes the affected seminal vesicle, after which the wound is sutured.

In the postoperative period, the patient is prescribed antibiotics to prevent inflammatory complications. There may be a temporary disturbance in ejaculation. Full recovery occurs within a few weeks.

*Vesiculectomy is a surgical operation to remove the seminal (or parameatal) vesicle* in men. Removal may be indicated in connection with benign tumors, inflammatory and non-inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland, irritable bowel syndrome - the so-called paraproctitis in the male version.

Less common than prostate adenomectomy. According to research by the American Urological Association, male adenoma is in the stage of a prelude trend, with an average increase of one percent per year. Scientists talk about the need for doctors to focus on symbiotic and psychosocial aspects, while prostate cancer is growing - despite the preventive measures taken, they, unfortunately, do not manage to prevent everything. The least used available treatments for prostate cancer are volume-sparing prostatectomy and vesiculocapsulectomy. As noted by staff and researchers from St. Mark's Hospital, even more than 60% of patients with prostate cancer are able to independently determine the need for surgical treatment of prostate cancer. There are patient complaints about uncomfortable behavior - immobility, urethritis, problems with erection and potency. Often, patients simply cannot conceive a child, despite having sexual intercourse. Thus, diagnosis of the disease is the basis for such an operation. However
