Robotic assisted excision of retrovesical angiomyxoma in a male patient

Abstract: Angiomyxoma is a rare tumour found predominantly in pelvis of young females. Less than 150 cases have been reported, more than 90% in females and only few cases in males. Its surgical excision is a big challenge and usually leads to recurrence due to incomplete excision. We report a case of retrovesical Angiomyxoma in an elderly male. The aim of this report is to highlight the rarity of this disease, especially in males, and robotic assisted excision as an evolving option of treatment.

“…Robotic surgery was developed to address laparoscopic limitations by providing high resolution magnified 3-dimensional imaging, articulating endowristed instruments that mimic the movement of a hand with 7 degrees of motion, superior ergonomics, and the ability to control the camera without an assistant. Few studies have been published on the use of robotics for excision of retrorectal tumors, and none describing an extralevator approach for excision [ 11 12 13 14 ]. The robotic platform was the perfect modality for our case.…”
