Single-port extra-peritoneal robotic radical prostatectomy in a patient with hostile abdomen

Abstract

This video explores the technique and outcomes of robotic radical prostatectomy (RP) using the da Vinci single-port robot in a 42-year-old obese male with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer and a prior history of extensive abdominal surgeries. The patient was placed in a supine position, with minimal Trendelenburg, and an extraperitoneal approach was taken, the abdominal cavity was not entered, and standardized steps of robotic RP were executed. The surgery lasted 190 min and the blood loss was 100 mL. The patient was discharged on the postoperative day 1, and the prostate-specific antigen was undetectable after 6 months and he had excellent functional outcomes.
