Résumé
Acute Colonic Pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), or Ogilvie Syndrome, is a rare phenomenon where acute colonic distension occurs, in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Several post-operative cases of Ogilvie Syndrome are noted within the literature, pertaining to patients post hepatectomy, trauma or spinal surgery; but rarely following urological procedures. This case describes a 68-year-old gentleman who developed Ogilvie Syndrome post an uncomplicated robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). While bowel injury is an acknowledged rare complication following prostatectomy, patients with Ogilvie Syndrome may present in a similar manner, and an atypical case of colonic obstruction should raise suspicion of this as a cause.
