Simultaneous robot-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy and standard radical prostatectomy

Yonsei Med J. 2014 Mar;55(2):535-8. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2014.55.2.535.

Abstract

Recently, patients with urologic malignancies are treated with robot-assisted surgery and the expanded role of robot-assisted surgery includes even those patients with two concomitant primary urologic malignancies. In an effort to further reduce port site-related morbidity, robot-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (RLESS) has been developed. Therefore, we present herein our early experience and feasibility of simultaneous RLESS partial nephrectomy and standard robotrobot- assisted laparoendoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) on 3 patients with synchronous renal masses and prostate cancer.

Keywords: Robot; nephron-sparing surgery; prostate carcinoma; radical prostatectomy; renal cell carcinoma.
