Personalized prediction for Post-Prostatectomy erection recovery?
NCT ID NCT07747272
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how a man's age, health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and sexual function before surgery affect the return of erections after nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Researchers will track 300 patients for a year, collecting questionnaire responses at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The goal is to build a prediction tool that helps future patients understand their likely recovery, while also checking that nerve-sparing surgery remains safe and effective for cancer control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy (surgical procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a personalized prediction tool that helps doctors and patients understand the likelihood of erectile function recovery after prostate cancer surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeons, and individual outcomes can vary widely.
