NCT ID NCT07247175

First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a new robotic surgery system that gives surgeons a sense of touch (force feedback) helps them learn faster and operate more safely. About 60 men with localized prostate cancer will have their prostate removed by robot. Half of the surgeries will use the force feedback feature, and half will not. The goal is to see if force feedback reduces tugging on tissues and improves surgical precision.
