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 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 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 is comparing two different robotic systems (HUGO RAS and Da Vinci) used during surgery for prostate or kidney cancer. If you are scheduled for robot-assisted prostate removal or partial kidney removal, joining this study will help doctors see if one platform works better than the other.
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.
