From: Multidetector CT imaging of post-robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy complications
Usual early postoperative appearance of the prostatic surgical bed after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALRP) in a 54-year-old patient with laboratory evidence of blood loss. Unenhanced MDCT images (a, b) show Foley catheter still in place, seminal vesicle remnants more prominent on the right side (arrowhead in a), unremarkable appearance of the prostatic bed fat (*) and levator muscle slings (arrows). Descent of the bladder base is better depicted on sagittal reformatted MDCT image (b) and on T2-weighted MRI images (c, d) obtained a month later, with appearance of low-intensity fibrotic signal (+) surrounding the vesico-urethral anastomosis (VUA)
