Simultaneous robotic-assisted prostatectomy and rectal resection: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PC) and rectal cancer (RC) are common and can require complex management, especially when presenting synchronously or with invasive characteristics. Robotic surgery has emerged as a viable option for managing these challenging cases; however, the outcomes are yet to be summarised or compared to traditional approaches. This systematic review aims to evaluate the feasibility, oncological outcomes, and functional results of simultaneous robotic-assisted resections of the prostate and rectum. Following prior protocol registration (PROSPERO: CRD42023449872) and according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a systematic search across multiple databases, selecting studies that involved simultaneous bladder-sp
