Brain blood flow study during robotic prostate surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures blood flow in the brain while you are in different positions during robotic prostate surgery. It aims to understand how your body handles the steep head-down position used in this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between the ages of 18 and 80.
- You are in generally good health (ASA I-III).
- You are scheduled for robotic prostate surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are willing and able to give written permission to join the study.
- You do not have a brain tumor, past stroke, blocked neck arteries, or a neurological condition like epilepsy.

This study looks at how children's brains respond during laparoscopic hernia repair. It uses two noninvasive devices (a headband and sensors on the forehead) to measure blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain while the child is under anesthesia. This could help doctors better understand how to keep children safe during this type of surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much the veins in your leg and belly collapse when you breathe, to see if this can predict a drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery. If you are eligible, you may help doctors better manage your blood pressure during surgery.
This study tests whether personalized breathing machine settings during robot-assisted prostate surgery can help keep blood flow steady in the brain, which may protect brain function during and after the procedure.
This study looks at how the steep head-down position (Trendelenburg) and gas inflation during robot-assisted prostate surgery affect the sheath around the optic nerve. It aims to understand eye pressure changes to improve safety.
This study looks at how being in a steep head-down position during robotic prostate surgery may affect older men's thinking and memory after the operation.
This trial compares two ways to measure blood pressure during robot-assisted prostate surgery: a cuff on the arm (oscillometric) vs. a tiny tube in an artery (intraarterial). It aims to see if the cuff method is just as reliable, which could make monitoring simpler and less invasive.
