Yonsei Med J. 2012 Jan;53(1):236-9. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2012.53.1.236.

Abstract

A 62-year-old male patient with prostate cancer and bilateral renal cell carcinoma underwent a simultaneous robot-assisted bilateral partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy. We describe our initial experience of combined operation with a port strategy allowing reuse of ports and surgical considerations because of prolonged pneumoperitoneum.
