In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Prostate cancer (PCa) management for low- and intermediate-risk patients often involves radical prostatectomy (RP), which achieves oncologic control but is associated with significant functional impairments, such as erectile dysfunction (50-70%) and urinary incontinence (5-20%). To address these issues, precision prostatectomy (PP) has emerged as a novel surgical approach that preserves functional structures while removing \>90% of prostate tissue. PP is thought to provide superior functional outcomes with acceptable oncological control by preserving the capsule, seminal vesicle (SV), and the surrounding neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) producing nerves on the side opposite to the dominant nodule while maximizing prostatic tissue removal. Early reports of PP demonstrate promising functional outcomes, with 90% of patients retaining sexual potency (Sexual Health Inventory for Men \[S
