Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to compare perioperative, pathological, and early functional outcomes of PAL (Posterior, Anterior and Lateral)combined approach RARP and posterior approach (with Retzius space preserved) RARP in the treatment of prostate cancer.The main question it aims to answer was:

What is the early therapeutic efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using the combined posterior, anterior, and lateral (PAL) approach, and how does it compare with the traditional posterior approach? Participants were randomly assigned to undergo either robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using the PAL (posterior-anterior-lateral) approach or the classic posterior approach.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PAL-RAPA

Participants undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(RAPA) via an integrated Posterior-Anterior-Lateral (PAL) approach using the da Vinci system.

* Posterior:\*\* mobilize sigmoid colon, incise rectovesical peritoneum, dissect vas deferens and seminal vesicles, open Denonvilliers' fascia, create a fascial window at prostate base.
* Anterior:\*\* enter retropubic space, preserve endopelvic fascia, puboprostatic ligaments, dorsal venous complex, expose bladder neck and anterior prostate.
* Lateral:\*\* dissect lateral bladder neck/prostate base, expand triangular space, retract seminal vesicle through posterior window, incise bladder neck, control vascular pedicles, perform atraumatic neurovascular bundle dissection, preserve urethral length.
* Prostate removal\*\* is followed by \*\*continuous urethrovesical anastomosis\*\* with 3-0 barbed suture.

\*\*Intended Purpose of Intervention:\*\* Assess perioperative outcomes, early functional recovery, and oncologic safety of PAL-RAPA

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PAL combined approach group

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

PAL combined approach was performed to resect the prostate

Posterior RAPA

Participants undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy via a posterior-only approach using the da Vinci system. The procedure includes: mobilization of the sigmoid colon, incision of the rectovesical peritoneum, dissection of vas deferens and seminal vesicles, opening of Denonvilliers' fascia, and creation of a fascial window at the prostate base. Prostate removal is followed by continuous urethrovesical anastomosis using a 3-0 barbed suture.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

posterior approach group

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Intraoperative resection of the prostate was performed by posterior approach
