Abstract
- Objective To alert the medical society regarding that hematuria after radical prostatectomy can be caused by pelvic pseudoaneurysm. Methods Case report of a 61-year-old male underwent extraperitoneal robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. He was readmitted on the 15th POD due to gross hematuria with resolution after bladder irrigation. It returned on the 21st POD. Results The CT angiography evidenced the pseudoaneurysm of the left internal iliac artery. Selective embolization was effectively performed, with no additional bleeding or pelvic ischemia. Endovascular therapy is the preferred method of treatment. Conclusion The pelvic pseudoaneurysm is a rare, but serious complication that can cause severe bleeding. In our experience, we had 3 cases of persistent hematuria caused by pelvic pseudoaneurysm after 1810 robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.
