This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Men with early-stage prostate cancer undergoing laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical removal often experience urinary incontinence afterward—a side effect that significantly impacts quality of life. This trial is testing a new surgical reconstruction technique that aims to better preserve the structures responsible for bladder control during the operation, potentially reducing the number of men who experience leakage after surgery.
Urinary incontinence is one of the most bothersome complications after prostate removal surgery, and many men avoid the operation because they fear losing bladder control. While doctors have tried various techniques to preserve continence, there's no clear evidence about which approach works best. This trial will help determine whether the new reconstruction method offers a real improvement.

If enrolled, you would undergo laparoscopic prostate removal surgery using the new reconstruction technique being tested. The surgical team would perform the standard operation but reconstruct your bladder neck using a specific method designed to improve continence afterward. You would then be monitored during recovery to assess how well your urinary control returns over time—typically measured at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.
