Robotic surgery showdown: single port vs. multi port for prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07666217
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks back at the records of 625 men who had robotic prostate surgery for localized prostate cancer. It compares a newer single-port method with the standard multi-port approach to see which leads to fewer complications and better urinary control. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new drug or treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with localized prostate cancer (clinical stage T1-T3a, N0, M0) eligible for radical prostatectomy 2. Patients who underwent RARP via SP-EA or MP-TA on or after January 1, 2023 3. Patients with available postoperative follow-up data for ≥6 months (≥166 days) \*note 1) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have expressed an intention to refuse the use of their data for this study 2. Patients who underwent RARP using surgical approaches other than those specified in the inclusion criteria (e.g., transvesical approach) 3. Patients who underwent RARP with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) 4. Patients with a history of radiotherapy for prostate cancer 5. Any other patients whom the principal investigator or a co-investigator deem inappropriate, such as those with missing outcome data.
