Abstract

Salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP) has been one of the common procedures for the patients with a failure after primary treatment. We present a case of SRP with rare surgical history. To our knowledge, this is the first report of salvage surgery for residual prostate gland including prostate cancer after unsuccessful radical prostatectomy. We indicated new possibility for salvage radical prostatectomy.
