# Simultaneous Robot‐Assisted Radical Prostatectomy and Repair of Inguinal Bladder Hernia

## TL;DR

This paper describes a successful combined robotic surgery for prostate cancer and bladder hernia repair in one patient.

## Contribution

The novelty is the first reported case of simultaneous robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and inguinal bladder hernia repair.

## Key findings

- The combined robotic procedure was successfully performed without complications.
- Postoperative follow-up showed no hernia recurrence or infection.

## Abstract

We report the first case of simultaneous robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and inguinal bladder hernia repair in a patient with prostate cancer, highlighting the feasibility and technical considerations of a combined robotic approach.

A 70‐year‐old male underwent simultaneous RARP and inguinal hernia repair using a robotic approach. A 3D Max mesh (Bard Inc., New Providence, NJ) was placed to reinforce the hernia repair. Postoperatively, the patient has shown no recurrence of the hernia or signs of infection during follow‐up.

Simultaneous RARP and bladder hernia repair using a robotic approach was successfully performed without complications. This combined procedure may be a safe and effective surgical option for similar cases requiring dual interventions.
