Robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in liver transplant recipients (LTRs) is not well documented. We present two cases of RALP in LTRs with localized prostate cancer (PCa). In both cases, a transperitoneal approach was used, and they were successfully completed without perioperative complications. Thus, RALP seems to be a feasible, safe and effective treatment for PCa in LTRs. Significant modifications to the surgical technique do not seem to be required, and patient optimization in preparation for surgery remains the key factor. History of liver transplant should not discourage embarking in a RALP in Centers with adequate robotic expertise.
