A surgical tweak may speed bladder control recovery after prostate removal
NCT ID NCT07725653
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether adding two surgical steps—suspending the urethra and rebuilding pelvic fascia—during robot-assisted prostate removal can help men regain urinary continence sooner. About 60 prostate cancer patients will receive the modified procedure and be followed for three months to see how many achieve pad-free or near-pad-free continence. The goal is to improve early recovery without compromising cancer control.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- modified robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with anterior urethral suspension and pelvic fascia reconstruction
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this modified surgical technique could help men regain urinary control sooner after prostate cancer surgery, improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The added surgical steps could carry risks like infection or bleeding.
