Resumen
TIENZA, A. et al. Spontaneous duodenal perforation in a radical prostatectomy patient. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.3, pp.507-509. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272012000300021.
Radical prostatectomy is a well known treatment for prostate cancer, with a low incidence of early postoperative complications. Our case is a 54 year old patient diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 3+3=6 with 8 ng/ml of PSA, treated by retropubic prostatectomy, who suffered spontaneous perforation of the duodenum. We chose a conservative management, resolved in 30 days. When dealing with a surgical patient all kinds of complications must be taken into account by performing the minimum tests that will enable a sure diagnosis to be achieved. The usual treatment is surgery or conservative management, depending on the case and the patient.
