Combined Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy and Laparoscopic Hemicolectomy

Abstract

A 60-year-old man with prostatic adenocarcinoma and a synchronous tubulovillous adenomatous polyp of the colon underwent a successful robotic radical prostatectomy combined with a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. We describe the initial report of this combined, minimally invasive procedure involving separate organ systems and surgical disciplines, and describe our technique.
