Introduction:
We report the first case of simultaneous robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and inguinal bladder hernia repair in a patient with prostate cancer, highlighting the feasibility and technical considerations of a combined robotic approach.
Case Presentation:
A 70-year-old male underwent simultaneous RARP and inguinal hernia repair using a robotic approach. A 3D Max mesh (Bard Inc., New Providence, NJ) was placed to reinforce the hernia repair. Postoperatively, the patient has shown no recurrence of the hernia or signs of infection during follow-up.
Conclusion:
Simultaneous RARP and bladder hernia repair using a robotic approach was successfully performed without complications. This combined procedure may be a safe and effective surgical option for similar cases requiring dual interventions.
