ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is comparing different surgical methods for treating prostate cancer, specifically looking at robot-assisted surgery, conventional laparoscopy (a type of minimally invasive surgery), and laparotomy (a more traditional open surgery). The goal is to understand which technique offers the best outcomes for patients, as there hasn't been enough research on the effectiveness of robotic surgery compared to the other methods. This study is important because it will help healthcare authorities make informed decisions about these surgical options and provide patients with reliable information.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a male patient who is scheduled for a radical prostatectomy, which is a surgery to remove the prostate gland. If you're between the ages of 65 and 74 and currently hospitalized for this surgery, you may be eligible. It's important to know that you can only join if you agree to participate and are not under specific legal protections or without health insurance coverage. If you take part, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to valuable research that could improve treatment options for prostate cancer in the future.
