ABSTRACT = {Bilateral bloody otorrhea is a rare complication of surgery 
and to our knowledge a previously unpublished event. 
We review the case of a 50-year-old male who underwent 
robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy 
(RALP) with bilateral lymphadenectomy for Gleason’s 
Score 4 + 4 = 8 prostate cancer. Bloody discharge from 
bilateral auditory canals was noted upon removal of the 
surgical drapes. Otolaryngologic examination revealed 
bilateral anterior auditory canal hematomas without 
any loss of hearing. Steep Trendelenburg position in 
combination with perioperative anticoagulants may have 
contributed to this complication. Given the rarity of this 
event no specific risk factors are identified.},
