Delayed Infection of a Pelvic Lymphocele following Robotic Radical Prostatectomy and Pelvic Lymphadenectomy: Two Cases

Delayed infection of a pelvic lymphocele following robotic radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy: two cases.

Pelvic lymphocele is an infrequent complication of pelvic surgery, usually presenting shortly after surgery. We report 2 cases with a delayed infected pelvic lymphocele presenting after transperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomy and robotic radical prostatectomy for adenocarcinoma of the prostate. These cases illustrate that late infection of pelvic lymphoceles may occur following radical prostatec...

Robotic modified radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy

Radical hysterectomy, the complete removal of a woman's uterus, is usually performed via an abdominal incision that requires a 3-5 day hospital stay and a 6-8 week recovery period. Now, in a handful of hospitals around the world, new robotic technology allows doctors to perform this procedure through small incisions that require a recovery time of only one night in the hospital and a significan...

Anatomical extent of pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

OBJECTIVES The rationale for locoregional staging lymphadenectomy in prostate cancer (pCA) lies in the accurate diagnosis of occult micrometastases to stratify patients who might benefit from adjuvant therapeutic measures. In pCA, the issues of the necessity and the therapeutic advantage of pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND]) in patients with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk disease are still disc...

Large Bilateral Symptomatic Pelvic Lymphoceles Following a Radical Prostatectomy.

An objective measurement of urinary continence recovery with pelvic floor physiotherapy following robotic assisted radical prostatectomy

BACKGROUND To assess the impact of structured pelvic floor physiotherapy including repeated standardized measurements in regaining urinary continence in those men who have undergone a robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). METHODS A retrospective database was created on men who had undergone a RALP while under the care of two senior urological surgeons between January 201...
