Introduction:
Advances in diagnostic technologies have resulted in an increase in patients with synchronous cancers. We report robotic hemicolectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy via a posterior approach.
Case Presentation:
A 72-year-old woman presented with synchronous ascending colon and right kidney cancers. We performed simultaneous robotic right hemicolectomy and robotic right partial nephrectomy. The renal tumor was located in a posterior and mid-lower pole of the kidney, we positioned the ports similar to the retroperitoneal approach and to gain a confronting approach to the tumor.
Conclusion:
Considering preoperative evaluations and intraoperative conditions comprehensively, it is essential to flexibly adapt to the appropriate surgical position and port arrangement to perform the surgery with consideration for oncological principles.
