Transplant operative time was longer but not statistically significant with prior RALP (304 vs 260 min; p=0.2). Urology was consulted intraoperatively during transplant for 7 patients (44%) with prior RALP and 1 patient (6%) without RALP (p=0.01). In prior RALP patients, 25% required urologic assistance for catheterization and 25% required assistance in identifying and mobilizing the bladder. Challenges in bladder identification and mobilization were reported by transplant surgeons at a significantly higher rate in patients with prior RALP (63% vs 19%; p=0.01). New onset posttransplant voiding dysfunction was reported in 4 patients with prior RALP (2 stress incontinence, 1 urge incontinence, and 1 stricture) and in 3 patients without prior RALP (all BPH) and was higher in those with pretransplant anuria (OR=3.2). CONCLUSIONS: RALP is a suitable treatment option for patients with localized prostate cancer and ESRD, but may complicate subsequent renal transplant. New onset voiding dysfunction may present following transplantation, particularly in previously anuric patients. By anticipating these challenges, transplant surgeons and urologists can collaborate to optimize patient outcomes.
