Abstract: | Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LARP) has been accepted as first line therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer.
Complications have been low and outcomes are comparable to that of open surgery with potential benefits including shorter
hospital stay, less pain and quicker return to normal activity. Unexplained paralysis following LARP is a rare entity with
no reported cases in the current literature. We report a case of complete motor paralysis following LARP. An extensive multidisciplinary
evaluation did not definitively establish a diagnosis. Aggressive multimodality treatment led to a complete recovery. Our
understanding of this phenomena with the possible etiology and treatment is discussed. |
