Abstract

An interventional technique using a transrectal real-time linear scanner has been applied to the transperineal puncture of the seminal vesicles in 143 patients. The composition of this group was as follows: seminal vesiculitis, 98; hemospermia, 20; and prostatic cancer, 25. The aspiration of fluid and the injection of antibiotics and/or steroid drugs into the vesicles were performed for the diagnosis and treatment of seminal vesiculitis and hemospermia. Clinical symptoms improved in 62% of the former and in 50% of the latter cases. Cancer cells were detected in aspirated vesicular fluid in 7 out of 17 cases with prostatic cancer. A remarkable improvement in the diagnosis of prostatic cancer invasion into the seminal vesicles can be expected from this new diagnostic procedure.
