Outpatient vs. inpatient robotic prostate removal study
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares recovery experiences for men having robot-assisted prostate removal surgery as an outpatient (going home the same day) versus staying overnight in the hospital. It looks at early complications to see which approach might work better for eligible patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- You have prostate cancer and your medical team has recommended robot-assisted surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy).
- You agree to follow all pre- and post-surgery instructions, have a ride home and someone to stay with you for 24 hours, and stay overnight if your doctors decide it's needed.
- You have not had prior treatments for prostate cancer like brachytherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.
- You are not currently participating in another clinical trial that restricts you.

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 study looks at using the Hugo™ robotic system to perform prostate removal surgery in an outpatient surgery center, which may mean a shorter stay and faster recovery for patients. The trial aims to see how safe and effective this approach is for men who need this surgery.
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 study collects health information from men who have had robotic surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to learn more about the outcomes of this surgery to help improve future care.
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 study is testing a special recovery plan that helps men heal faster after robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery. If you are eligible, you may benefit from a structured exercise and recovery program.
