We present the case of a 75 year old transgender woman 18 months post gender-affirming vaginoplasty found to have unfavorable, intermediate risk prostate cancer. She elected a robotic radical prostatectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection. Postoperatively, the patient resumed neovaginal dilation without difficulty, and had improvements on International Prostate Symptom Score when compared to post-vaginoplasty, pre-prostatectomy. Incontinence measured by Revised Urinary Incontinence Scale remained mild. Robotic prostatectomy can, under appropriate circumstances, allow preservation of the neovaginal vault, but requires considerable experience and multidisciplinary intraoperative collaboration.
