Abstract
Definitive surgical treatment for prostate cancer continues to evolve with robotic prostatectomy being the preferred technique. This technique has led to decreased blood loss and transfusion rates. Although uncommon, this case report presents a rare incident of delayed inferior epigastric bleed from a port site after a robotic prostatectomy. Our case report aims to establish the first known algorithm to address port site bleeding after robotic prostatectomies. Having an established algorithmic approach to evaluate and treat patients with postoperative port site bleeding is paramount. Using the algorithm, this patient was stabilized, and bleeding was controlled with embolization.
