Abstract
A case is presented where a needle was lost in the assistant's port during a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. This complication generated a unique dilemma: whether or not to disengage the robot and search for the needle or to continue with the operation and look for the needle at the end of the operation.Keywords: Laparoscopic; Lost; Needle; Port; Robotic-assisted surgery
