چکیده
Pelvic exanteration is used in the treatment of several pelvic cancers, including those of the rectum, uterus, and bladder. We report the first case of robotic pelvic exanteration for the treatment of symptomatic prostate cancer involving the rectum and bladder. A six-port transperitoneal robotic approach was used. Bilateral extended lymphadenectomy up to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed. The rectum and bladder were removed en bloc, and a double-barrel anastomosis was then performed with both ureters being connected to the lower opening of the colostomy. Operative time was 249 minutes, and estimated blood loss was 600 mL. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were recorded. Biopsy of the rectum and bladder showed prostatic adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 9 (5+4), and 1 of 17 nodes was positive for cancer. Postoperative prostate-specific antigen level was 1.24 ng/mL. The patient is already 19 months after surgery with optimal quality of life. Thus pelvic exanteration is a feasible alternative for highly symptomatic prostate cancer involving adjacent pelvic organs.

متن کاملEchocardiographic diastolic function assessment is of modest utility in patients with persistent and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND Detection of concurrent diastolic dysfunction (DD) may be beneficial in patients with persistent and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The role of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in assessing DD in patients with AF has not been well characterized. We sought to determine the utility of TTE in detecting elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) in patients with persisten...
متن کاملIncreased variability of lap speeds: differentiating medalists and nonmedalists in middle-distance running and swimming events.
PURPOSE Previous literature has presented pacing data of groups of competition finalists. The aim of this study was to analyze the pacing patterns displayed by medalists and nonmedalists in international competitive 400-m swimming and 1500-m running finals. METHODS Split times were collected from 48 swimming finalists (four 100-m laps) and 60 running finalists (4 laps) in international compet...
