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 an improved robotic-assisted surgical technique for removing the prostate in men with locally advanced prostate cancer. The new approach focuses on preserving the bladder's supporting structures during surgery to help patients regain bladder control faster and more completely after the procedure. Researchers will compare this modified technique with the traditional surgical approach to see if it leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
After prostate cancer surgery, many men struggle with urinary incontinence (involuntary leaking). This trial exists to test whether a refined surgical technique that better preserves bladder support structures can reduce or prevent this common side effect and help men recover bladder control more quickly.

If you join this trial, you will receive robotic-assisted prostate surgery using the hospital's improved technique. Before surgery, you will undergo advanced imaging scans of your pelvis to help your surgical team plan the procedure. After surgery, your medical team will monitor your recovery, track your bladder control, and assess any complications. The study will compare your outcomes with those of men who received the traditional surgical approach.
