title: Combined robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy and radical prostatectomy.
abstract: A 57-year-old man with prostate cancer and transitional-cell carcinoma of the kidney underwent a combined robot-assisted prostatectomy and hand-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with robot assistance. We describe the initial report of this combined operation and the novel use of the da Vinci robot for extravesical bladder-cuff excision and repair.
