This pilot study is testing a specialized nerve grafting technique performed during robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery. The goal is to help preserve erectile function in men with high-grade prostate cancer who need their prostate removed. Researchers will monitor how well this new approach works and whether it helps maintain sexual function after surgery.
Prostate cancer surgery can damage the nerves responsible for erectile function, which is a common side effect that affects quality of life. This trial is exploring whether grafting healthy nerve tissue during surgery can protect these important nerves and help men maintain sexual function after treatment.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive the nerve grafting technique as part of your standard prostate cancer surgery—no additional surgery is needed. After your operation, you would complete brief questionnaires about sexual function and any pain at routine follow-up visits scheduled at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months. The study team will also monitor you for any complications during your recovery.
