“Robotic-assisted surgical management of a post-brachytherapy rectoprostatic fistula: a case report”

This case demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgical management for complex radiation-induced rectoprostatic fistulas. The novel technique of rectal rotation with mesorectal interposition may provide additional protection against recurrent fistula formation compared to conventional approaches. This innovative robotic approach could be considered in selected patients with extensive radiation-induced tissue damage where traditional repair techniques may be insufficient, potentially offering improved outcomes in this challenging clinical scenario.
