Background: In salvage cystoprostatectomies (SCPs), rectal injuries can occur at a rate of 1% to 10%. Factors including T3 disease and prior pelvic radiation can lead to complications such as bleeding, recurrent wound infections and the need for colonic diversion. Methods: We present a male patient in his late 70s with a new diagnosis of pT2 muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This is on a background of Stage IIB prostate cancer 10 years ago, managed with external beam radiotherapy. He patient had hyaluronic acid (HA) rectal spacer infiltration into the Denonvilliers’ space two weeks prior, for rectal protection. HA rectal spacers are easily identifiable due to their anechoic appearance on ultrasound imaging, making them easily distinguishable when injected into the Denonvilliers’ space intraoperatively. Results: The patient did not experience any symptoms related to rectal injury and had full bowel continence postoperatively. Conclusion: Although approved for use in radiation treatment for prostate cancer, their role in aiding dissection during SCP remains unexplored. We exhibit the use of HA rectal spacers for rectal protection during SCP. Full article

Locally advanced prostate cancer poses a clinical challenge for physicians. Despite the established role of radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy in these cases, some patients with locally advanced disease experience recurrent disease or persistent disease with debilitating local symptoms, such as intractable pain and urinary symptoms. In this narrative review, we sought to evaluate the role of exenterative surgery in the management of locally advanced prostate cancer. From our search, we found that total pelvic exenteration or cystoprostatectomy represents a viable therapeutic modality to manage prostate cancer directly invading the bladder, lower urinary tract symptoms, debilitating pain caused by locally advanced disease, and as salvage treatment after failure of primary treatment among other applications. Reports on minimally invasive pelvic exenteration for prostate cancer were also retrieved, as this represents a feasible and effective treatment option for experienced clinicians. Pelvic exenteration may be an effective tool for the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer in the surgeon’s armamentarium; however, further studies are needed to establish its role in improving survival and overall patient outcomes.
