Combined robotic-assisted retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy and extraperitoneal prostatectomy. First case reported - Abstract

A 54-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma of the left kidney underwent concomitant robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy.

We report, to our knowledge, the first case of a concomitant retroperitoneal robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy.
