Prostate Capsule Sparing Cystectomy and Nerve-sparing Radical Cystoprostatectomy in Men With Bladder Cancer

NCT01824329 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Summary

Bladder cancer is the 4th most common cancer amongst men. If bladder cancer invades the muscle of the bladder or fails local treatments, surgical removal of the bladder (cystectomy) with creation of a new bladder from intestine is required. However, standard cystectomy affects urinary function and sexual function. The investigators are evaluating two modifications to cystectomy to determine to what extent they preserve urinary and sexual function.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Prostate capsule sparing cystectomy

Removes the adenoma and prostatic urethra along with the urinary bladder, but leaves in situ the prostatic capsule and subsequently the surrounding neurovascular bundle.

PROCEDURE

Nerve sparing cystectomy

Attempts to spare the cavernosal nerves that travel immediately adjacent to the lateral prostate and are routinely divided during a standard RCP.
