Abstract
Osteitis pubis is a rare but known complication of multiple urological procedures including transurethral resection of the prostate, prostate cryotherapy, photovaporisation of the prostate, high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment of the prostate, prostatectomy and cystectomy, especially in the context of salvage therapy for prostate cancer. Patients can present with significant often intractable pain secondary to this condition. We report a case of a patient with a history of radiation therapy and salvage cryoablation who presented with osteitis pubis, calcification of the prostatic tissue bed which was inseparable from the pubic symphysis. Treatment with salvage holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and holmium lithotripsy was demonstrated to be effective for palliative management of osteitis pubis from prostatic calcification ossifying into the pubic symphysis.
