Comparing two training methods for robot-assisted prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are enrolled in the CC-ERUS training course or a similar robotic RARP training course at ORSI Academy during the study.
- You are willing and able to give your consent to be in the study.
- You can complete the full on-site training course so your skills can be assessed on Day 5.

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.
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 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 study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
This trial tests whether adding a 3D augmented-reality model to standard robot-assisted prostate surgery can help doctors remove the cancer while better preserving sexual function. It is for men whose MRI shows the cancer may have slightly spread outside the prostate.
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.
