Summary
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a safe and feasible option for prostate cancer patients who have received kidney transplants. This case study demonstrates successful RARP in a patient with two renal allografts, showing excellent outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Transplant Surgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) presents unique challenges due to renal allograft placement.
- Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) may be technically difficult in KTRs.
