Testing nerve monitoring during pelvic tumor surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study checks if a special nerve monitor can help predict how well you'll control your bladder and bowels after surgery to remove a pelvic bone tumor. It also compares results with patients having spine surgery that doesn't affect these nerves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether checking pelvic nerve signals during rectal cancer surgery (total mesorectal excision) is helpful. It may help surgeons avoid nerve injury while removing the cancer.
This study tests if using nerve monitoring during prostate removal surgery can help protect nerves. It may help men having surgery for prostate cancer avoid side effects like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
This study looks at how removing a tumor from the tailbone area affects the nerves that control bowel and bladder function. It helps doctors understand recovery and what patients can expect after surgery.
This study checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
This study tests whether special nerve-monitoring equipment and a specific type of surgical tool can reduce nerve damage during lymph node removal surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if these techniques help preserve arm and shoulder function after surgery.
