New prostate surgery aims to save sexual function without sacrificing cancer control

This study compares two types of prostate cancer surgery: radical prostatectomy, which removes the entire prostate and surrounding tissue, and precision prostatectomy, which removes most of the prostate but spares nerves and structures important for urinary control and sexual function. Researchers want to see if precision surgery leads to better recovery of erections and continence while still being as effective at controlling cancer. The trial will enroll 160 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer and follow them for 12 months after surgery.
