Three weeks after surgery he developed pain and weakness of the upper arms requiring increasing doses of opioids. Assessment identified a grossly elevated ESR and CRP consistent with a clinical diagnosis of PMR. Treatment with oral steroids led to a rapid resolution of symptoms.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There have been reported cases of polymyalgia rheumatica occurring following surgical procedures but not with robotic prostate surgery. It has been proposed that surgical tissue injury can cause a release of inflammatory markers. Surgical stress-related sympathetic activation can also stimulate lymphocyte dependent inflammatory reactions by modulation of cytokine production and lymphocyte expressed adrenergic receptors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present here the first reported case of PMR developing acutely after radical robotic prostatectomy. It is possible that the surgical procedure in this case had triggered polymyalgia rheumatica possibly through activation of immune-mediated systemic inflammatory responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2012.04.012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,28]],"date-time":"2012-04-28T15:44:03Z","timestamp":1335627843000},"page":"354-355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Polymyalgia rheumatica following robotic radical prostatectomy"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Suntharasivam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.
