New robotic vs. standard surgery for early prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer for the first time.
- Your doctor plans to remove your prostate as a cure.
- You are 80 years old or younger.
- You agree to be randomly assigned to one of the three surgical methods.
- You can fill out questionnaires on your own.

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 study compares two ways of doing robot‑assisted prostate removal surgery. It aims to see if a newer, less invasive method through a single small cut is as safe and effective as the standard method. If you have early‑stage prostate cancer and are eligible, you could help improve surgical recovery.
This trial tests a robot-assisted prostate surgery method that aims to preserve the entire urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) to help maintain continence. It's for men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who haven't had prior prostate treatments.
This trial tests whether adding a 3D augmented-reality model to standard robot-assisted prostate surgery can help doctors remove the cancer while better preserving sexual function. It is for men whose MRI shows the cancer may have slightly 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.
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.
