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 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.
