Prostate cancer Cancer

Interventions

Patients with localized prostate cancer suitable for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy will be randomized into two groups: Group 1: Artificial intelligence 3D augmented reality robo
while contralaterally an intra-, inter- or extra-fascial NS technique will be performed depending on the clinical indication. At the end of the demolition phase, following the removal of the prostate

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Positive surgical margins rate measured using whole amount histopathological exam of sections 1 to 30 days postoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Sexual function measured using the International Index of Erectile Function 5 Questionnaire at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery 2. Urinary continence measured by weighing protective pads before and after use to quantify the amount of urine leaked into the pad at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery 3. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in serum measured using a serum PSA ELISA test at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery
