Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 301159 0
To assess pre-operative and post-operative oncological outcomes following Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) compared to Open Radical Prostatectomy (ORP) by comparing rates of positive surgical margins, lymph node yield and node involvement, extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion, perineural invasion. These are recorded/ measured using operative specimen pathology results, and evidence of clinical progression/recurrence using biochemical (PSA tests) and imaging (CT scan) evidence.
Timepoint [1] 301159 0
Clinical pathology data will be collected Intraoperatively.
Biochemical recurrence (PSA tests) will be measures at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months and 5 and 10 years postoperatively.
Recurrence on imaging (CT scan) will be measures at3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively.
Primary outcome [2] 301168 0
To assess pre-operative and post-operative urinary and sexual functional outcomes following Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) compared to Open Radical Prostatectomy (ORP) using the patient-reported Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite Questionnaire (EPIC) and Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF);
Timepoint [2] 301168 0
Pre-operative, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 5 years and 10 years postoperative.

Secondary outcome [6] 331941 0
To examine the predictive ability of pre- and intra-operative clinical and functional parameters to determine favourable post-operative functional outcomes of RARP. Clinical and functional parameters will be recorded from participant medical records and compared with their post-operative data to find correlations between pre- and intra-operative data and favourable post-operative outcomes.
Timepoint [6] 331941 0
Pre-operatively and 12 months postoperatively.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who undergo robotic and open prostatectomy will be compared using chi-square tests and Fisher’s test. Perioperative outcomes (e.g. operative time / console time, conversion to open, blood loss, transfusion, complications, Clavien-Dindo grades and inpatient stay data) will be compared between groups using chi-square tests and t tests. Patient reported outcome measures (including symptom scores and quality of life measures) will be scored according to the respective developers’ instructions. The mean change in scores between baseline and 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months will be compared between participant groups using t tests or Wilcoxon rank sum tests depending on the distribution of the data.

For patients who have a robotic procedure, univariate associations between clinical factors assessed by Urodynamics/imaging and post-operative functional outcomes will be assessed using multivariate regression modelling to identify which factors are statistically significant and independent predictors of functional outcomes. A P <0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS statistical software (IBM Corp. SPSS Version16.o, Chicago, SPSS Inc. 2007).

Physical and mental functioning (SF-36v2) at 12 months post procedure is the primary outcome used for sample size calculation. In this prospective cohort study, based on the authors experience and previous published data, assuming that at least 70% of the participants in each group will remain in the study and predicting a moderate effect size of d = 0.5 and type-1 error of 0.05, a total sample size of 562 (i.e. 281 per group) would result in 90% power at 12 months postoperative to reject the null hypothesis.
We will use an uncorrected chi-squared statistic to evaluate this null hypothesis. The sample size was calculated using PS (Power and Sample Size Calculations software – version 3.0).

Summary
Brief summary
This study will compare the effect of robotic and open surgery for prostate cancer on functional and oncological outcomes

Who is this study for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above, are undergoing prostatectomy for prostate cancer at RPA or Concord Hospitals and are clinically suitable for robotic prostatectomy.

Study details
Participants will either have robotic assisted laparascopic surgery or conventional open surgery as determined by the treating surgeon.

All participants will undergo tests to determine urinary and erectile function, biopsies to determine oncological outcomes and questionnaires to assess quality of life. These assessments will be conducted pre-operatively, post-operatively and at certain follow-up timepoints up to 10 years.
