Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant patient: our first experience-a case report

Transplant Proc. 2009 Mar;41(2):713-5. doi: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2008.12.010.

Abstract

The association between prostate cancer and kidney transplantation has an unknown incidence despite an increased screening in that population. Radical prostatectomy remains the gold standard in treating localized tumors. Retropubic or perineal approaches are usually considered. The surgical aspects and successful outcome of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a kidney transplant recipient are reviewed.
