Robotic perineal radical prostatectomy in a patient with a pre-existing three piece inflatable penile prosthesis

Abstract

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the primary and standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. As in many surgical procedures, RP can now be accomplished through minimally invasive methods. RP in a patient with a pre-existing 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is an exceptional condition and involves coping with many difficulties. In this case report, we aimed to present a patient with pre-existing 3-piece IPP for whom we successfully performed robotic perineal RP (r-PRP).

Zusammenfassung

Die radikale Prostatektomie (RP) ist die primäre Standardbehandlung für lokal begrenzten Prostatakrebs. Wie viele chirurgische Eingriffe auch, kann die RP derzeit mit minimalinvasiven Methoden ausgeführt werden. Eine RP bei Patienten mit präexistierenden dreiteiligen aufblasbaren Penisprothesen (IPP) ist eine außergewöhnliche Gegebenheit, für die viele Schwierigkeiten überwunden werden müssen. Ziel dieses Fallberichts ist es, einen Patienten mit einer präexistenten dreiteiligen IPP vorzustellen, bei dem wir eine robotergestützte perineale RP (r-PRP) erfolgreich durchgeführt haben.
