Brief Title: The Effects of Method of Anaesthesia on the Safety and Effectiveness of Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy
Official Title: Comparative Study of the Effects of Combined Spinal Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia on the Safety and Effectiveness of Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy in Patients With Localised Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT05566405
Brief Summary: Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm in men worldwide. The gold standard of therapy is radical prostatectomy, a wide surgical excision of the neoplasm and can be performed either open, laparoscopic or robotic. The open retropubic approach, still performed today, can be completed under either general anaesthesia or combined (spinal/epidural) anaesthesia without any clear guideline on which one should be preferred. In this study the investigators aim to evaluate general anaesthesia and combined (spinal/ epidural) anaesthesia in patients undergoing open retropubic radical prostatectomy and define whether these may have an impact on the oncological outcome and safety of the procedure.
