Radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder formation is a well-established treatment for patients with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder. After the wide implementation of robotic systems, numerous centers increasingly offer intracorporeal neobladder construction using robotic staple devices. Stone formation at the area of staple material migration is a long-term complication, as staple material may migrate through the neobladder wall and act as a nidus for urine crystal aggregation.

Reports in the literature have presented the feasibility of a minimally invasive resection of retroperitoneal or pelvic schwannomas. However, there are only a few reports in the literature about a robot-assisted nerve-sparing approach towards obturator schwannomas. We present a case of a concomitant excision of a symptomatic obturator nerve schwannoma in a patient undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy.
