Testing force feedback in robotic prostate cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 19 or older.
- You have prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate (stage T1 to T3a).
- You are scheduled to have robotic prostate removal surgery at Samsung Medical Center.
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery (ASA class I, II, or III).
- Your erectile function is working well enough to score 12 or higher on a standard questionnaire within the last 6 months.
- You agree to join the study after understanding what it involves.

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.
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 study tests a remote surgery program where doctors use technology to perform or assist robotic surgery from a distance. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients like you.
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
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 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.
