Can a new training method make robotic prostate surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07180797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new step-by-step training method for surgeons learning to perform nerve-sparing prostate removal using the Hugo RAS robot. Twelve urologists or urology residents will be trained and assessed on how quickly they become skilled. The goal is to see if this training approach is practical and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Proficiency-based progression training on the Hugo RAS robot
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more efficient and standardized way to train surgeons in robotic prostate surgery, potentially improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training method may not prove effective or may be too challenging for some surgeons.
