Robot or standard surgery for prostate removal
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able and willing to give consent to join the study.

This study compares different approaches used during prostate cancer surgery for men whose cancer is only in the prostate. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgical plan for your situation.
This study tests removing the entire prostate gland (radical prostatectomy) without doing a biopsy first. It is for men with a very high PSA and strong imaging signs of cancer that has not spread, so they can start treatment sooner.
This study looks at a robotic prostate operation that aims to remove only the affected side while keeping the urethra (the tube for urination) to help preserve urinary function. It’s for people with low- to intermediate-risk, one-sided prostate cancer and no spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.
This trial looks at a planned, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) prostate removal for men with localized prostate cancer done as an outpatient. It aims to understand how this approach fits into care after discussion by a group of specialists.
This trial tests whether using a combined PSMA-PET/MRI and ultrasound navigation system during robot-assisted prostate removal can help the surgeon remove the cancer more completely while preserving surrounding tissue. It is for patients with early-stage prostate cancer that is just starting to spread outside the prostate.
This trial compares two nerve-sparing surgery techniques for prostate cancer to see which one better protects urinary control and sexual function while still removing the cancer. It may help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are planning to have robotic surgery.
