Description:
The purpose of this study is to compare two different techniques to perform the standard of
care surgery to treat prostate cancer. This surgery is called robotic radical prostatectomy.
There are two robotic surgical systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
perform this surgery. First system is called the Da Vinci ® Xi system. With this system, six
small incisions are made during the surgery. Second system is called the Da Vinci ® SP
system. With this system a single incision is made during the surgery. Same surgery is done
with each surgical system. This study aims to understand whether a single incision surgery
ends up with better recovery after surgery.

Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Extraperitoneal SinglePort (SP) Robotic Radical Prostatectomy (Da Vinci ® SP system) | Active Comparator | All participants will undergo SOC robotic radical prostatectomy.
The procedure for this arm uses the Da Vinci ® SP system. Access point consists of one 3.5 cm single infraumbilical incision for the SP-RARP | |
Extraperitoneal MultiPort (MP) Robotic Radical Prostatectomy (Da Vinci ® Xi system) | Active Comparator | All participants will undergo SOC robotic radical prostatectomy.
The procedure for this arm uses the Da Vinci ® Xi system, where four 8mm trocars will be used along with a 12 mm assistant trocar (a surgical instrument) to create six small incisions during the surgery | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer,
stage T1a, T2a or T2b prostate cancer using MRI staging.
- Life expectancy greater than 10 years.
- Participants must have ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written
informed consent document or have a surrogate with the ability to understand and the
willingness to sign a written informed consent for radical prostatectomy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants with any prior extensive pelvic surgery or pelvic fractures.
- Prior treatment for prostate cancer such as radiotherapy or focal therapy.
- Uncorrected coagulopathy.
- Active soft tissue or urinary infection.
- Poor surgical risk (defined as American Society of Anesthesiology score > 3)
- Any condition or history of illness or surgery that, in the opinion of the
investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk to the
patient (e.g. significant cardiovascular conditions that significantly affect the life
expectancy, chronic opiate use, pain syndrome, or drug abuse.)
- Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to
ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina
pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would
limit compliance with study requirements
Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 19 Years |
Eligible Gender: | Male |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Hospital stay in hours |
Time Frame: | Post-surgery, an average of 16 hours |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Hospital stay, counted in hours from the time of transfer to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) to discharge |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Operative time |
Time Frame: | During operation, an average operative time is 192 minutes |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Time elapsed from skin incision to placement of the final skin suture |
Measure: | Estimated blood loss in milliliters |
Time Frame: | During operation, an average operative time is 192 minutes |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Estimated blood loss, measured in volume (mL) |
Measure: | Number of additional ports |
Time Frame: | Within 24 hours of surgery |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Number of additional ports needed in surgery |
Measure: | Number of SP procedures converted to other procedure types |
Time Frame: | Within 24 hours of surgery |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | For SP procedures, conversion to MP robotic surgery or standard laparoscopic surgery, or open surgery will be recorded |
Measure: | Intraoperative complication rate |
Time Frame: | Within 24 hours of surgery |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Intraoperative complication rate compared between the two systems |
Measure: | Number of participants requiring Intraoperative Trendelenburg position |
Time Frame: | Within 24 hours of surgery |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Intraoperative Trendelenburg position requirement for the participant will be recorded. Position involves placing the head low and feet elevated, increasing blood return to the heart, cardiac output and vital organ perfusion |
Measure: | Intraoperative peritoneum breach rate |
Time Frame: | Within 24 hours of surgery |

Description: | Intraoperative peritoneum breach rate as defined by intraoperative pneumoperitoneum after insufflation of extraperitoneal space |
Measure: | Visual analog pain scale scores |
Time Frame: | Within 7 days of surgery |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Pain intensity will be evaluated with a visual analog pain scale, a validated instrument scored from 0 to 10, 10 being the worst |

Description: | Body image perception, measured using the body image questionnaire, which consists of two sub-scales: the body image scale, which assesses attitudes to bodily appearance and consists of five questions (score 5-20) where higher scores mean worse outcomes, and the cosmetic scale which assesses the degree of satisfaction with the appearance of the scar and consists of three questions (score 3-24), where higher scores mean worse outcomes. |
Measure: | Participant and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores |
Time Frame: | Up to 1 year |
Safety Issue: | |

Both scales contain six items that are scored numerically. Each of the six items on both scales has a 10-step score, with 10 indicating the worst imaginable scar or sensation. The total score of both scales consists of adding the scores of each of the six items (range, 6 to 60). The lowest score, 6, reflects normal skin, whereas the highest score, 60, reflects the worst imaginable scar. |
