“…In our present study, the extra time needed for R-TAPP was 21 and 23 min, which is not very different from the time of 26 min in a prior metaanalysis. 6 Besides, our findings corroborate the meta-analysis that reported no drawbacks of concurrent R-TAPP in terms of a higher risk of bleeding or postoperative complications. 6 Our report provides one piece of evidence that simultaneous RARP and R-TAPP can be performed safely.…”

“…6 Besides, our findings corroborate the meta-analysis that reported no drawbacks of concurrent R-TAPP in terms of a higher risk of bleeding or postoperative complications. 6 Our report provides one piece of evidence that simultaneous RARP and R-TAPP can be performed safely. However, we acknowledge that more controlled prospective studies are needed to verify the safety and efficacy of this procedure.…”

“…The R‐TAPP has less postoperative pain than other methods, such as open or laparoscopic, 4 and may become more popular in the future. In our present study, the extra time needed for R‐TAPP was 21 and 23 min, which is not very different from the time of 26 min in a prior meta‐analysis 6 . Besides, our findings corroborate the meta‐analysis that reported no drawbacks of concurrent R‐TAPP in terms of a higher risk of bleeding or postoperative complications 6 .…”

IntroductionWe report two cases where robotic‐assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair were performed simultaneously.Case presentationIn case one, hernia repair was performed by implantation of 3D Max™ mesh and closure of the peritoneum. Total console time was 156 min, of which hernia repair took 21 min. In case two, hernia repair was performed using Ventralight™ ST mesh. Total console time was 181 min, of which hernia repair took 23 min. Pelvic lymph node dissection was performed in case two but not in case one. Both patients were discharged 7 days postoperatively without severe complications or mesh infection.ConclusionIt may be possible to perform robotic‐assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair simultaneously.
