Operative view of prostatosymphyseal fistula. Following division of communication between the prostate and symphysis pubis, a large defect in the anterior prostate (A) is seen, exposing the urethral catheter. The symphysis pubis cartilage has been completely excavated (B).

This case report documents a rare complication of prostate resection following a Greenlight laser procedure. The 75-year-old gentleman involved underwent photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) for clinically benign prostatic obstruction. Subsequent to PVP, the patient experienced recurrent macroscopic haematuria and pubic pain. Investigations confirmed the presence of a prostate-symphyseal fistula, a rare complication of PVP. We believe this to be the first reported case of successful treatment with robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.

... Since the initial description of a puboprostatic fistula following PVP, a total of 7 cases in the English literature have been reported to date. [13][14][15][16][17] In addition to the above reports, we have treated 7 men to date who developed PSF following PVP. The objective of this case series and systematic review is to summarize the limited published literature for patients presenting with PSF following PVP and to describe an additional 7 cases of PSF following PVP to double the total number of reported cases to date. ...
