Prostate cancer surgery as a day procedure? small study tests feasibility
NCT ID NCT04319146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether robot-assisted prostate removal for localized prostate cancer can be safely performed as outpatient surgery, meaning patients go home the same day. Twenty men will be enrolled and followed for one month to see if they can avoid a conventional hospital stay. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and safe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
robot-assisted radical prostatectomy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that some prostate cancer surgeries can be done without an overnight hospital stay, making recovery more convenient.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk of complications requiring unexpected hospital admission.
