Simultaneous robotic low anterior resection and prostatectomy for adenocarcinoma of rectum and prostate: initial case report

Abstract: BackgroundWe report a case of synchronous rectal and prostate cancer treated successfully with simultaneous da Vinci robotic-assisted low anterior resection of the rectum and robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy to address both cancers.Case presentationRecently, minimally invasive surgical techniques using da Vinci robot® system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, USA) were introduced as curative surgical modality of prostate and rectal malignancies. Herein, we report an initial case of simultaneous… Show more

“…On further analysis, operative times of course resented of the dockings and changes in patient position; however, they were comparable with those of other reports 8,12 . Experience has proven to shorten the operative times, as well as preoperative planning of port placement and operative room set‐up.…”

“…Given the relatively young age, less common for a PC and the concomitant presence of intestinal polyps, which certainly contributed to the digestive symptoms of the patient, the case is illustrative for the diagnosis difficulties of simultaneous rectal and prostate tumors, here represented by intestinal polyps and PC. There may be lymphatic drainage connecting the pararectal regions to the internal and external iliac regions [ 15 ] and a lymphatic connection could exist between the hypogastric lymphatic drainage and the mesorectal one [ 16 ] which would explain the presence of PC metastases in the perirectal LN. Extended surgery for the presumed RC could have been avoided in this case if the preoperative investigation had included PC screening by DRE and determination of serum PSA levels that had a value higher than that accepted as the normal maximum value in the patient age group – 2.5 ng/mL in the study of Anderson et al [ 17 ].…”

“…A single combined operation for both malignancies, typically prostatectomy combined with either LAR or APR, can be performed (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Minimally invasive surgical techniques, including laparoscopic APR (24) and robotic LAR (23), both combined with robotic-assisted prostatectomy, have been reported. In our multi-institutional analysis, two different combined open operations were performed: a pelvic exenteration as well as APR with prostatectomy.…”
