Official Title: A Prospective Trial on Nerve Sparing Techniques Performed in Radical Prostatectomy

Study ID: NCT04393831

Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Quality of Life

Interventions

Retzius sparing

Study Description

Brief Summary: The investigators propose a prospective study to assess recovery of urinary and sexual function by nerve sparing techniques after radical prostatectomy.

Detailed Description: Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Retzius nerve sparing versus non-Retzius nerve sparing to compare cancer outcomes and urinary/sexual outcomes following radical prostatectomy. Using the Retzius technique, the surgeon will remove the prostate in a way that preserves a portion of the nerves and tissue structures that are typically removed during the conventional technique. The investigators will assess recovery of urinary and sexual function of patients through questionnaires at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery.
