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).
