Résumé

Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has emerged
as a minimally invasive alternative to open radical prostatectomy
(ORP) for the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer. In
comparison to the open procedure, there is significantly less intraoperative
blood loss during RALP. This benefit has allowed RALP
to become a feasible option for patients who would be poor candidates
for ORP, including those patients with intrinsic hematological
disorders. In this case study, we report a successfully performed
RALP in a patient with severe thrombocytopenia in the
presence of primary myelofibrosis.
