Early postoperative appearances of the prostatic bed following RALRP in two different patients. In a 73-year-old man with oliguria and impaired renal function (4.1 mg/dl serum creatinine), the VUA is identified on unenhanced MDCT images (a, b) by the presence of metallic clips. Note the Foley catheter in place (thin arrows), minimally increased density of the prostatic bed fat (*) and right ureteral stent in (b). In a 45-year-old man investigated 36 h after surgery because of significant blood loss, axial (a) and coronal (b) images from triple-bolus MDCT urography show symmetric inhomogeneous densities (arrowheads) in the prostatic bed, corresponding to regenerated oxidised cellulose patches (Tabotamp ®), and minimal blood effusion in the peritoneal cul-de-sac (*)
