Nerve Grafting Technique to Preserve Erectile Function in Patients Undergoing Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Prostate Cancer | Erectile Dysfunction

The investigator proposing a single arm prospective pilot trial evaluating the safety and the 1-year erectile recovery outcomes of patients undergoing Nerve Restoring (NR) Robotically assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). During this study a total of 10 patients who are undergoing robotic prostatectomy will have their surgery performed utilizing a novel technique, NR-RALP, which incorporates a genitofemoral (GFN) nerve graft designed to try to improve the erectile function and recovery of men undergoing standard of care robotic prostatectomy while minimizing additional morbidity of the procedure
