STUDY PURPOSE:\n\n   Robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer aims to remove the tumor while preserving the delicate nerves that control erections (called \"nerve-sparing\" surgery). Even with advanced robotics, some patients still experience erectile dysfunction after surgery. Recovery depends not only on the surgeon's technique (one-sided or two-sided nerve sparing), but also on patient unique baseline health profile. The present study aims to analyze how patient age, health history (like diabetes or high blood pressure), and pre-surgery sexual function affect recovery. Doctors will use this data to create a personalized prediction tool (a nomogram) to better advise future patients.\n2. STUDY DESIGN:\n\n   This study will not change, delay, or interfere with participants' standard medical care. The surgeon will choose the safest surgical path to treat cancer. To ensure the highest quality and eliminate surgical bias, all operations will be performed by a single, highly experienced robotic surgeon who has completed over 5,000 procedures. If patients agree to join, participants will be asked to fill out private health questionnaires at four specific time points: Baseline: Before surgery. Follow-ups: At 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery.\n3. STUDY MEASUREMENTS:\n\nErectile Function: Patient ability to achieve a functioning erection (with or without the help of medications like Viagra) at the 12-month mark compared to patient baseline.\n\nOncological Safety: Routine checks of patient PSA levels and surgical margins to guarantee that sparing the nerves did not compromise cancer cure",[62,63,64,28],"Prostate Cancer","Prostatectomy","Robotic Surgery",[31,66,67,68,32],"robotic surgery","prostatectomy","nerve-sparing","2026-07-30",{"date":71,"type":39},"2026-08-05",{"date":73,"type":39},"2026-01-01",{"date":75,"type":21},"2028-03-30",{"name":77,"class":46},"University of Florence",1,{"id":80,"slug":81,"hasResults":11,"nctId":82,"briefTitle":83,"officialTitle":84,"acronym":85,"eligibilityCriteria":86,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":87,"maxAge":88,"enrollmentInfo":89,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":91,"briefSummary":93,"conditions":94,"keywords":97,"overallStatus":35,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":101,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":102,"startDateStruct":104,"completionDateStruct":106,"leadSponsor":108,"locationsCount":110},"100579264","efficacy-of-intraoperative-arista-polysaccharide-application-on-the-postoperative-blood-loss-in-patients-undergoing-rarp-for-the-treatment-of-prostate-cancer-100579264","NCT06822036","EFFICACY OF INTRAOPERATIVE ARISTA POLYSACCHARIDE APPLICATION ON THE POSTOPERATIVE BLOOD LOSS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING RARP FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER","PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL EVALUATING THE EFFICACY OF INTRAOPERATIVE ARISTA™ AH POLYSACCHARIDE APPLICATION ON THE POSTOPERATIVE BLOOD LOSS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING ROBOTIC ASSISTED RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER","ARISTA","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age range ≥ 45 to ≥68 yrs\n* Biopsy proven prostate cancer treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy\n* Intrafascial nerve sparing surgery (unilaterally or bilaterally)\n* Preoperative urinary continence\n* Group A Preoperative unassisted International Index of Erectile function (IIEF)-5 score range 8-16 (i.e. moderate (8-11) and mild to moderate (12-16))\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe intellectual limitations preventing to fully understand the study concept and its content\n* High risk prostate cancer (PSA ≥ 20 ng\u002Fml or biopsy Gleason-Score ≥ 8 or suspected T4)\n* Suspected bone or visceral metastases at preoperative imaging Neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy\n* Any prior local therapy of the prostate (including subvesical deobstruction or radiation therapy)\n* Any prior chemotherapy or colon\u002Frectal surgery\n* Any prior pelvic trauma that required surgical intervention\n* Depression or other psychological or neurological disease (dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder etc.)\n* Peyronie's disease\n* Polyneuropathia\n* IPSS Score \\>19 and QoL \\>3\n* Bilateral secondary (complete or partial) resection of the neurovascular bundle\n* No contraindications for phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor intake (i.e. suited for most penile rehabilitation regimes)\n* Any endocrine function disorder (not including diabetes)\n\nSURGICAL AND PERIOPERATIVE EXLUSION CRITERIA:\n\n* Accessory pudendal arteries (APA) preservation, if an APA is identified\n* For a) nerve sparing and b) controlling bleeding in the area of the prostate bed and neurovascular bundles after prostate removal, no monopolar thermal application are allowed but suturing and clip application is allowed.
