“…31 Furthermore, Moschovas et al reported their experience by using the single-port system: in the robotic era, this is the further demonstration of the growing opportunities that the robotic approach might lead, with the challenges-associated single-port system similar to the multiport robot. 30,32 Moreover, Moschovas et al emphasized the safety and feasibility of single-port lymphocelectomy by reporting no recurrence. 30 Robot-assisted approach could help surgeon, with its magnification, to identify and isolate the lymphocele especially when an adhesiolysis due to recent surgical procedure is needed.…”

Background: Pelvic lymphnode dissection (PLND) is an integral part of surgical treatment for localized intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer. The most common complication of PLND is lymphocele formation. In the majority of cases the development of lymphoceles is clinically asymptomatic but in case of symptomatic/infected lymphocele an active treatment is required. The aim of this article is to analyse the current evidence on the treatment of symptomatic/infected lymphocele trough robotic approach. Materials and Methods: The search was applied to PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases with following terms: “lymphocele”, “symptomatic”, “infected”, “robot-assisted AND radical prostatectomy”, “robot-assisted”, “treatment”. Results: The search identified three series focusing on the treatment by robot-assisted approach of symptomatic and/or infected lymphocele. The main and most frequent reason for performing the robotic treatment was an infected lymphocele, the median time from robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and PLND to robotic treatment of lymphocele was 118 days (range 30-240). Robot-assisted treatment was successful in all reports. Conclusions: The drainage of lymphocele with the robot-assisted approach appeared safe, feasible, and with satisfactory outcomes for the definitive treatment of symptomatic/infected lymphocele.
