Abstract:
With the increasing popularity of the robotic approach for performing radical prostatectomy, the awareness of potential genitourinary anomalies is a necessity. The ectopic position of a pelvic kidney can present a unique challenge to the success of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy while preserving function in the kidney. We describe our experience of performing extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a patient with a pelvic kidney.
