Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app with educational videos, pelvic floor exercises, and reminders can improve recovery of bladder control and erectile function in men after prostate cancer surgery. About 78 men scheduled for prostate removal will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus the app. Researchers will measure incontinence and erectile function before surgery, after catheter removal, and at 1 and 3 months after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Mobile-based perioperative education program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve recovery of bladder control and sexual function after prostate surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app's benefit over standard care may be small or not statistically significant.
