Robotic prostatectomy in patient with an abdominoperineal resection

Abstract

Robotic prostatectomy (RP) has been reported to be technically challenging in patients with a history of prior complex lower abdominal or pelvic surgery, morbid obesity, large prostate, prior pelvic irradiation, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, or prior prostate surgery. In this paper, we report an experience of RP in a prostate cancer patient with abdominoperineal resection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and pelvic irradiation for rectal cancer.
