ABSTRACT

Introduction and objective: Local prostate cancer recurrence is usually treated with salvage radiation (sRDT) with or with­out adjuvant therapy. However, surgical resection could be an option. We aim to present the surgical technique for robot – assisted laparoscopic resection prostate cancer local recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) and sRDT in 2 cases.

Patients and method: First case depicts a 70 year – old man who underwent RP in 2001 and sRDT in 2004. Following ad­juvant therapy, patient had biochemical recurrence. MRI showed a solid mass in the prostatic fossa close to vesicourethral anastomosis, measuring 2.1 cm and PET / CT revealed hyper caption significant uptake in the prostatic fossa. Second case is a 59 year – old man who underwent RP in 2010 and sRDT in 2011. Again, patient presented with biochemical recur­rence. PET / CT showed hyper caption in the prostatic fossa. Biopsy conformed a prostate adenocarcinoma. Both patients underwent robot – assisted extended pelvic lymph nodes dissection and local recurrence resection. A standard 4 robotic arms port placement was utilized.

Results: Both procedures were uneventfully performed in less than 3 hours and there were no complications. Pathologi­cal examination showed a prostate adenocarcinoma Gleason 7 and 8 in the first and second case, respectively; surgical margins and lymph nodes were negative. After 6 months of follow-up, continence was not affected and both patients presented with PSA < 0.15 ng / mL.

Conclusion: Robot – assisted laparoscopic resection of prostate cancer local recurrence after RP and sRDT detected by PSMA PET / CT seems to be safe in experienced hands. It may postpone adjuvant therapy in selected cases.
