VOTED AS AMERICA'S TOP UROLOGISTS A Division of Westchester Medical Group Robot-assisted extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy in a patient with a pelvic kidney. Boczko J, Joseph JV. Department of Urology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642, USA. Urology. 2006 Nov;68(5):1122.e3-4. Epub 2006 Nov 7. With the increasing popularity of the robotic approach for performing radical prostatectomy, the awareness of potential genitourinary anomalies is a necessity. The ectopic position of a pelvic kidney can present a unique challenge to the success of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy while preserving function in the kidney. We describe our experience of performing extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a patient with a pelvic kidney.
