“…Although in the literature the incidence of rectal injury during RRP was 0.5% to 9% , it was reported to be as high as in a review of the studies of cases of salvage prostatectomy [1,2,5]. In our series we had a 2.6% incidence of IRI and injury was not missed in any patient.…”

“…If the injury is not recognized during the operation complications can be observed postoperatively. After surgery the most important complications are rectourinary fistulas, peritonitis, infections related to the operation site, urinary incontinence, anastomotic strictures, sepsis and even death [13,5]. During the operation when we suspect rectal trauma we used digital rectal examination and insufflation air with a syringe into the rectum while filling the pelvis with irrigation fluid as described by some authors [9,14].…”

“…Although the frequency of rectal injury in radical prostatectomy varies from 0% to 11% in the literature, [1,2] it was reported to be as high as 28% in a review of the studies of cases of salvage prostatectomy. [3] Importantly, there has been a decrease in the rate of rectal injury during radical prostatectomy operations in recent years, which may be due to the more refined surgical techniques and increasing anatomical knowledge of the male pelvis.…”

“…In general, colostomy may be necessary in certain cases with larger defects, intraoperatively unrecognized defects, fistula development, or in salvage radical prostatectomy procedures. [1,6,13,16,17] There is a consensus among most authors about the importance of recognizing rectal injuries during the operation. The presence of a defect in the rectal wall may be tested by checking for a loss of gas through the rectal wall.…”

“…After instituting broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and a clear liquid diet, the majority of patients can be discharged within 72 hours. 23 Ureteral injury is a rare complication and may occur during extended PLND or during posterior dissection. It can be repaired primarily or with a ureteral reimplantation if very low; both can be performed robotically.…”
