A Randomized Controlled Trial to Improve the Therapeutic Effect of Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging
China50 participantsStarted 2024-11-26
Plain-language summary
In Robotic Assistant Radical Prostatectomy (RARP), indocyanine green fluorescent solution is injected through the urethra, and the position and structure of the urethra are observed using the fluorescence imaging equipment that comes with the device. Guided by real-time fluorescence imaging, the urethra is precisely dissected and severed in front of the bladder neck. Through this improved operation, the bladder neck is protected, the neck injury that is common in conventional surgical operations is reduced, and the reconstructive surgical operations necessary after loss are reduced, and the surgical efficiency is improved. By protecting the bladder neck, the sphincter is better preserved, postoperative urinary incontinence is reduced, and the surgical outcome is improved

Inclusion Criteria:
Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy at Shanghai First People's Hospital Patients with naïve localized prostate cancer or locally advanced prostate cancer The patient \> 18 years and \< 85 years Before the surgery, the prostate MR scan sagittal view of the prostate in our hospital measured the separation of the bladder neck \< 1cm The patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical resection of the prostate malignancy in our hospital with anterior approach The patient returned to normal after surgery, and there were no postoperative complications such as intestinal obstruction that affected the patient's blood routine and biochemical indicators
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with metastatic prostate cancer Patients without preoperative puncture pathology Patients with sagittal bladder neck separation ≥ 1cm of prostate MR non-contrast prostate in our hospital before surgery Patients with preoperative examinations confirming that the enlarged prostate protrudes into the bladder floor Patients with preoperative examination confirming that the lesion is located at the tip of the prostate and near the bladder neck Patients with tumor stage reaching cT4 stage and possible invasion of bladder neck Patients who have undergone adjuvant therapy such as endocrine therapy and radiotherapy before surgery Patients with a history of any prostate surgery other than needle biopsy prior to radical resection of pro…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
