Robotic Radical Cystectomy Outcomes after Intervention for Prostate Cancer.

We evaluated patients who underwent treatment for prostate cancer and then subsequent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Our objective was to understand clinical, pathologic, and survival outcomes in these patients. A total of 333 male patients underwent RARC with standard intracorporeal urinary diversion from 2009 to 2019. We evaluated patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy (RP) ...

[A Case of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystoprostatectomy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer with Bladder Infiltration].

While robot-assisted radical cystoprostatectomy (RARC) for locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC) may sometimes prove to be excessive treatment, it can significantly reduce the risk of positive surgical margins and lower urinary tract obstruction in some cases. Here, we report a case of LAPC treated with RARC in a patient with right hydronephrosis due to bladder infiltration and left hypoplastic ...
