Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
25 male patients with clinically localized prostatic carcinoma underwent prostatectomy by robot-assisted approach by a single surgeon(using the da Vinci Surgical System). The estimated operative time is around 3-4hours.The surgical technique are transperitoneally,antegrade, energy-free (use of surgical suture needle to control the prostatic
vascular structure with no use of thermocoagulation,
either mono or bipolar at the lateral
aspect of the prostate)
Participants will be monitored for 1 year post surgery
Intervention code [1] 285035 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
25 male patients with clinically localized prostatic carcinoma underwent prostatectomy by laparoscopic approach by a single surgeon. The estimated operative time is around 4-5 hours. The surgical technique are the same with Robot-assisted.
Participants will be monitored for 1 year post surgery

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287287 0
Continence
Timepoint [1] 287287 0
Continence was defined as no leakage or as no need of use of any protective pad.Continence were assessed by telephone interview at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.
Primary outcome [2] 287288 0
Potency
Timepoint [2] 287288 0
Potency was defined both as capability of intercourse (with or without phosphodiesterase type 5 [PDE5] inhibitors).Capability of intercourse were assessed by telephone interview at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Capability of intercourse was assessed through the questions (Were you able to insert your penis into your partner's vagina? Did your erection last long enough to have successful intercourse?). If the patient affirmed that he was able to get an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse, he was further asked about the use or not of PDE5 inhibitors and the frequency of this use.
Primary outcome [3] 287289 0
postoperative positive margin
Timepoint [3] 287289 0
Positive surgical margin (PSM) was considered when cancer cells were found in contact with the ink-marked resection margin.A PSM < 1 mm was defined focal. The TNM 2002 classification was used for the staging.The PSM will be assessed by postoperative pathological report. The report were reviewed 1 week after surgery.
Secondary outcome [1] 297837 0
blood loss(ml)
Timepoint [1] 297837 0
blood loss will be assessed by vacuum extractor .And the amount of bleeding were recorded in the operative records. The records were reviewed 1 day after surgery.
Secondary outcome [2] 297838 0
Total operative time
Timepoint [2] 297838 0
Total operative time was regarded as the time between initiation of the skin incision and end of wound closure according to operative records. The operative records were reviewed 1 week after surgery
