Abstract
Clinical History:
A 73-year-old male with a remote history of retropubic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer of unknown pathology, presenting with rising PSA to 3.13.
Physical Exam:
Benign genitourinary exam with no prostate palpable upon digital rectal exam.
Diagnosis:
Localized recurrence of prostate cancer in the right residual seminal vesicle.
Intervention:
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic removal of bilateral seminal vesicles, metal clip placement at surgical margins, and right obturator and internal iliac lymph node dissection. Fluorescence-enhanced imaging with ICG was used throughout the dissection to visualize the ureters.
Follow-up/Outcome:
Patient was discharged in stable condition on postoperative day 2. The 6 week postoperative PSA was 0.62. The permanent pathology report was positive for a tumor at the lateral and bladder margins, consistent with metal clip placement. No identifiable lesion on the 3-month postoperative MRI, and salvage radiation with ADT was pursued.
Patient Consent Statement:
Michael E. DeBakey VA.
