Bladder suspension in robotic prostate surgery for advanced cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical technique (bladder suspension) during robotic prostate removal for men with locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to see if this approach improves early recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high-risk prostate cancer, confirmed by biopsy (PSA over 20, Gleason score 8 or higher, or tumor stage T2c or above).
- You are scheduled for robotic-assisted prostate removal surgery.
- You had a special MRI scan of your prostate or pelvis within 30 days before surgery at our center.
- You are in good overall health (no infections, autoimmune diseases, blood disorders, or other cancers) and have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (fully active or able to do light work).
- Your complete medical records and biopsy details are available.

This trial tests a new surgical technique called uretheroileal suspension during bladder removal surgery for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer or certain high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers that have not responded to other treatments.
This trial tests a new surgical technique during laparoscopic prostate removal to help patients regain bladder control (urinary continence) faster. It's for men with early-stage prostate cancer who are good candidates 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 trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
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.
