Patient's question:
I've been feeling generally unwell lately, and my wife insists that I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Recently, I've noticed a significant increase in the frequency of urination, and it's much more difficult than before. The hospital said I have a prostatic cyst.Doctor's answer:
Cysts near the urethra or bladder can be removed via transurethral surgery or transurethral resection, removing most of the cyst's top part to ensure adequate drainage. Laparoscopic removal of prostate cysts offers advantages such as clear tissue exposure, shorter operation time, reduced risk of pelvic tissue damage, minimal psychological trauma, no need for a stoma, and less bleeding. It is the preferred method for treating prostate cysts that protrude posteriorly toward the urethra or bladder neck. For cysts near the urethra or extending into the bladder, transurethral cyst removal is the optimal surgical approach. However, for younger patients, preserving the seminal colliculus is crucial for normal ejaculation.
