Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy after carbon ion radiotherapy: a case report

We report a case of salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for local recurrence of prostate cancer after carbon ion radiotherapy with surgical video. Owing to adhesion and degeneration after radiotherapy, difficulties in surgery and post-operative complications have been anticipated. However, surgery was feasible without severe peri- and post-operative complications. Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy after carbon ion radiotherapy may be a reasonable therapeutic option.
