No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the results of three standard of care surgical methods \[stapling versus selective suture ligation (cut, then sew) versus single suture ligation (sew, then cut) of the dorsal venous complex (DVC)\] during robotic prostate surgery to see which is better for the patient's recovery.
