Prostate surgery stitch study pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT07226687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to test whether using smaller or larger stitches during robotic prostate surgery helps men regain bladder control faster. It planned to enroll men with prostate cancer undergoing robotic prostate removal. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
