Bowel Collapse after having a prostectomy

Has anyone had serious problems after robotic surgery to remove the prostate with the collapse of the bowel and the accumulation of large pockets of air causing the bowel not to be able to function at all? I am looking to see if this is a common complication and what was done to fix the problem. I appreciate any info/suggestions/solutions. The surgeon indicated that this was common however, I can't find any information. Thank You. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.27.28.216 (talk) 14:47, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
