Pelvic muscle repair to improve bladder control after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is at a certain stage (cT2 to cT3aN0M0).
- Your doctor has said you may have robot-assisted surgery to remove the prostate (RARP).
- You have never had trouble with leaking urine or a narrow urethra before.
- You have not had any previous surgery on your prostate.
- You do not have any medical reason that would make RARP surgery unsafe for you.

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.
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 study tests whether a personalized exercise and support program before and after robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery helps men recover better function and quality of life. You'll work with a team to prepare your body before surgery and rebuild strength afterward.
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
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 compares a new robotic surgical technique (with a special urethra repair) to standard robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach best preserves urinary control.
