چکیده

This case report documents a rare complication of prostate resection following a Greenlight laser procedure. The 75-year-old gentleman involved underwent photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) for clinically benign prostatic obstruction. Subsequent to PVP, the patient experienced recurrent macroscopic haematuria and pubic pain. Investigations confirmed the presence of a prostate-symphyseal fistula, a rare complication of PVP. We believe this to be the first reported case of successful treatment with robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.

A comparison of the incidence and location of positive surgical margins in robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and open retropubic radical prostatectomy.

PURPOSE Surgical technique, patient characteristics and method of pathological review may influence surgical margin status. We evaluated the incidence and location of positive surgical margins in 200 sequential robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and 200 sequential open radical retropubic prostatectomy cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2002 until December 2006 a total of ...

Spermaturia after Radical Prostatectomy: Is Surgical Preservation of Fertility Possible?

Ease of sperm retrieval has not been previously described as a goal for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer; however preservation of fertility is a known concern for some younger prostate cancer patients. We present the first known case of a patient with postejaculatory spermaturia following robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. We hypothesize that this is due to fis...

Robotic repair of rectovesical fistula resulting from open radical prostatectomy.

OBJECTIVES Rectovesical fistula (RVF) is a rare complication of radical prostatectomy. A 57-year-old man underwent open radical prostatectomy with recognized rectal injury, primary closure of the rectal wall, and loop colostomy. The patient developed urine leakage per rectum after colostomy closure. We diverted the fecal stream with end colostomy and placed a suprapubic tube. An open transsacra...
