A Case of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in Primary Small Cell Prostate Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare and very aggressive disease with a poor prognosis, even in its localized form. We managed a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate. The patient was treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. Herein we report this first case of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy performed in a patient with primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate.

Pitfalls of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a comparison of positive surgical margins between robotic and laparoscopic surgery.
OBJECTIVES To compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, including the frequency and location of positive surgical margins. METHODS The study cohort comprised 708 consecutive male patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (n = 551) or robot-assisted radical prostatectom...
متن کاملCombined Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy and Radical Prostatectomy
A 59-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer and clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma of the kidney underwent a combined robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy. We describe the initial report of a combined robot-assisted operation for both procedures concurrently with a port strategy allowing reuse of ports.

Introduction: Radical prostatectomy is an effective curative treatment option for organ-confined prostate cancer. There is a recent trend in offering curative treatment to patients with oligometastatic disease. More sensitive imaging modalities can identify oligometastatic disease that is not usually detected by conventional imaging techniques. Case presentation: We present a case in which a s...
متن کاملPure laparoscopic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in the management of prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Until recently, open radical prostatectomy was the only approach for the surgical management of prostate cancer. Laparoscopy is now increasingly used as an alternative approach. The procedure can be performed directly or with robot assistance. METHODS We review the relevant literature regarding oncologic and functional outcomes with laparoscopic surgery in the management of localiz...
متن کاملComparison of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic and Mini-Laparotomy Radical Prostatectomy in Prostate Cancer Treatment in Taiwan
The incidence of prostate cancer in Taiwan has increased in recent years, possible because of better detection with screening methods, such as the measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, transrectal ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most of the cases that are diagnosis early are operable and were, therefore, treated surgically. Historically, open radical prostatect...
