This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different robotic surgery approaches for removing the prostate in men with localized (early-stage) prostate cancer. One approach uses a single surgical opening and works outside the abdominal lining, while the other uses multiple openings and works inside the abdominal lining. Researchers want to see which approach works better, causes fewer side effects, and helps men recover faster.
Robotic prostate surgery is a proven treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, but doctors aren't sure which surgical approach — single-port or multi-port — gives men the best outcomes with the fewest complications and the quickest recovery.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to receive one of the two robotic surgical approaches for prostate removal. The surgery itself is a one-time procedure. After surgery, you'll have follow-up visits over the next year where doctors will check how you're healing, monitor your PSA levels, and ask questions about your recovery and quality of life. You'll also complete questionnaires about your sexual function and any side effects you experience.
