Breathing exercises to prevent confusion after robotic prostate surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing breathing exercises before surgery helps prevent confusion (postoperative delirium) after robotic prostate removal. If you are having this surgery, the exercises aim to keep your mind clearer during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 40 or older.
- You are scheduled to have robot-assisted prostate removal (prostatectomy) at Akdeniz University Hospital.
- You are able to talk and communicate so doctors can check your thinking before and after surgery.
- You are willing to do breathing exercises before and after the procedure.
- You do not have severe dementia, confusion, or a brain condition that would make the thinking tests hard to interpret.
- You are not taking psychiatric medications that affect your ability to think clearly.

This study is testing a special recovery plan that helps men heal faster after robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery. If you are eligible, you may benefit from a structured exercise and recovery program.
This study tests a program that combines exercise, nutrition, and mental preparation before and after prostate removal surgery. The goal is to help you recover faster and keep better urinary and sexual function.
After surgery for cancer in the belly area, some older adults become confused or have memory problems. This study looks for early signs in the blood that might predict this, so doctors can help prevent it.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain exercises before surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after surgery in older adults with small vessel disease in the brain. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) used during robotic-assisted prostate removal surgery. The goal is to see if using a lower amount of gas is as safe and effective as the standard amount, which might lead to faster recovery and fewer side effects.
This study looks at how older adults' thinking and memory may change after a common prostate surgery, and whether some patients become confused or delirious afterward. It may help doctors understand who is at risk for these problems.
