[Pubic Bone Osteomyelitis in Patient with Prostate Cancer after Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy; A Case Report].

A 72-old man had undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer (cT2aN0M0). He was referred to us with a complaint of lower abdominal pain, pain at the bilateral inner thigh, gait disturbance and persistent pyuria three months after surgery. A pelvic MRI revealed inflammation of the pubic area, and pubic bone osteomyelitis was suspected. He was admitted and administered doripenem hydrate (DRPM) intravenously for 3 weeks. The symnptoms of gait disturbance, pain at the bilateral inner thigh, and lower abdominal pain were improved gradually. Levofloxacin hydrate (LVFX）wa s administered orally for 8 weeks subsequently.
