Training urologists on a new robot for prostate surgery
This study tests a training program for urologists and urology residents to learn how to use a new Hugo RAS robot for nerve-sparing prostate removal. It aims to see if the program helps them gain the skills they need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a urologist or a urology resident (a doctor training to become a urologist).
- You cannot have used the Hugo robotic system before.
- You must be able to attend all training days.

This trial tests two training methods for learning robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (a surgery to remove the prostate using robotic tools). If you are a surgeon taking a specific training course, you may be able to join and help find out which teaching approach works best.
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 a robotic training program for newer surgeons. It may help surgeons learn robotic procedures more effectively.
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 study looks at ways to improve how surgeons perform during robot-assisted surgeries. If you are a surgeon who does robotic procedures, joining this study could help make surgery safer and more effective.
This trial is looking at whether a new force-feedback feature in the da Vinci robotic system helps surgeons learn and operate more safely when removing the prostate for prostate cancer.
