Abstract

We report the first case of a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) operation at Songklanagarind Hospital. The patient was diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma. He also had underlying immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and suspected previous pulmonary tuberculosis. General anesthesia with an endotracheal tube was the choice of anesthesia. This article discusses specific considerations regarding robotic surgery and the patient’s condition. The operation was successful; it took about 160 minutes longer, incurred 200 ml more of blood loss, but it led to an equal length of hospital stay compared to the data from another tertiary hospital in Thailand. A minor complication was a pressure sore on the patient’s shoulder, conceivably due to the shoulder braces.
