Nerve monitoring during prostate cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if using nerve monitoring during prostate removal surgery can help protect nerves. It may help men having surgery for prostate cancer avoid side effects like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

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 if a nerve grafting technique can help preserve erectile function after robotic surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer. It may be an option for men with good preoperative erectile function.
This study tests a new nerve surgery to help men regain erections after prostate cancer surgery. It's for men who have had moderate to severe erectile dysfunction for at least 12 to 18 months after their prostate removal.
This trial studies whether checking pelvic nerve signals during rectal cancer surgery (total mesorectal excision) is helpful. It may help surgeons avoid nerve injury while removing the cancer.
