Prostate cancer surgery: could it become a Same-Day procedure?
NCT ID NCT06891664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether men with prostate cancer can have robotic surgery to remove the prostate and go home the same day, instead of staying in the hospital overnight. Researchers will check how many patients agree to try this approach and how well it works. The goal is to see if day surgery is safe and improves quality of life while lowering healthcare costs.

Inclusion Criteria: * patients with localized prostate adenocarcinoma at low-intermediate risk (EAU Risk classification); * patients aged \>= 18 years; * patients with an indication to undergo robotic radical prostatectomy without lymphadenectomy according to the EAU guidelines; * patients who agree to undergo robotic radical prostatectomy without lymphadenectomy according to the EAU guidelines by signing a written informed consent; * patients eligible for robotic radical prostatectomy without lymphadenectomy and in the absence of contraindications to undergo the procedure; * patient's ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent indicating that he has understood the purpose and methods of conducting the study and is interested in participating.; * patients able to follow the indications specified in the study protocol; * patients domiciled (even temporarily) \< 150 km away from the institution where the procedure will be performed; * patients domiciled (even temporarily) \< 60 minutes by car from a reference Emergency and Acceptance Department (DEA). Exclusion Criteria: * patients \> 75 years of age; * ASA \> 2; * second simultaneous surgery; * prostate volume \> 80 cc estimated on preoperative imaging (transrectal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging); * patients receiving anticoagulants or oral antiplatelet drugs; * other concomitant tumors undergoing treatment; * previous pelvic radiotherapy; * previous surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy; * patients lacking the digital literacy required to take advantage of telemedicine intervention; * patients who cannot benefit from at least one caregiver; * patients not suitable for a day-surgery approach based on the clinical evaluation of the operating surgeons and anesthetists.
