NCT01448798

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a hemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix during athermal nerve-sparing prostate resection compared to conventional hemostasis using electrocautery in patients with localized prostate cancer and to investigate effects on postoperative erectile function and continence.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative erectile function

    Postoperative erectile function compared to preoperative status assessed validated questionnaires.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Postoperative continence

    12 months

  • Intraoperative bloodloss

    During surgery

  • Intra- and postoperative complications

    Perioperative period

Study Arms (2)

gelatine-thrombin matrix

EXPERIMENTAL

Nerves-paring during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is conducted without mono- or bipolar electrocautery and clipping by using a hemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix.

Procedure: Application of a hemostatic gelatin-thrombin matrix

Control

SHAM COMPARATOR

Nerve-sparing during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy is conducted with the use of mono- and bipolar electrocautery and surgical clipping.

Procedure: Use of mono- and bipolar electrocautery and surgical clips

Interventions

Hemostatic gelatin-thrombin matrix is used for hemostasis during nerve-sparing dissection of the prostate.
