Abstract

Despite increased screening in renal transplant recipients, the prostate cancer-renal transplantation association is not well-known. Treatment of localized forms must be curative. Total prostatectomy is performed according to the classically described incisions, either retropubic or perineal. The authors describe the technique and results of laparoscopic total prostatectomy in a renal transplant recipient.
