Sponsored by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a hemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix during athermal nerve-sparing prostate resection compared to conventional hemostasis using electrocautery in patients with localized prostate cancer and to investigate effects on postoperative erectile function and continence.
683 studies on the registry are indexed under Erectile Dysfunction; 116 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is below the median of 72 across 541 interventional studies indexed under Erectile Dysfunction.
