Summary

This study compares three surgical methods for removing the prostate in men with prostate cancer: robot-assisted laparoscopy, standard laparoscopy, and open surgery. Researchers will track urinary and erectile function before and after surgery in 2,000 participants. The goal is to provide clear evidence on which technique leads to better quality of life outcomes.

What this could lead to

If this study succeeds, it could help doctors and patients choose the best surgical technique for prostate cancer with fewer side effects on bladder and sexual function.

What could go wrong
