New Urethral Reconstruction in Robotic Prostate Removal
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to rebuild the urethra during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It may help people whose cancer hasn't spread too far or has been reduced enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You need to have prostate cancer confirmed by a biopsy.
- The cancer should not have spread widely, or it must have been shrunk enough for surgery.
- You must be willing to have robot-assisted laparoscopic prostate removal.

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 compares two nerve-sparing techniques during robotic prostatectomy to see which better preserves urinary and sexual function while still effectively removing the cancer. It is for men with early-stage, favorable-risk prostate cancer who are good surgical candidates.
This trial tests whether a new imaging technique (PSMA-PET/MRI fused with ultrasound) helps surgeons perform more precise robotic prostate removal in men with prostate cancer that has started to spread outside the gland. It aims to improve cancer control and reduce side effects.
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.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique to help the muscles that support the bladder recover after prostate cancer surgery. It may help men who are having robot-assisted prostate removal to regain better bladder control afterward.
This trial tests a robot-assisted method to take prostate tissue samples using an ultrasound probe placed through the rectum. It may help patients and doctors get clearer biopsy results when there are early warning signs of prostate problems, before a cancer diagnosis is confirmed.
