Condition: Database · Prostate Cancer · Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy · Sponsor: Melbourne Health
In Australia, nearly 70 men are diagnosed with Prostate cancer every day. Prostate removal (Radical Prostatectomy) is the proven treatment option to control cancer spread. Most of the prostate removal surgeries are done using robots. Robotic assisted prostate removal surgeries have been invented to minimise the risk of side effects post-surgery. Doctors prefer the robots over open surgery as there are benefits to patients (shorter hospital stays, lesser blood loss and better quality of life) and surgeons (better dexterity, improved field of vision and less pain). However, the cost of the robot outweighs the benefits at present and there is very less information concerning the long-term outcomes for patients. Studies conducted so far are small scale studies and the results from these studies cannot be generalized to the population at large in Australia. So, there is need for a largescale study that will look at the long-term outcomes and the factors that impact robotic surgeries across the metropolitan and rural hospital sectors. Hence, this comprehensive database has been setup to collaborate with major hospitals, across metropolitan and rural areas in Australia. Through this database, researchers will be able to explore the diagnostic pathway for Prostate cancer and understand the long-term benefits of robotic surgery through patient reported questionnaires. Outcomes from this database will also help compare the quality of care against other powerhouses of robotic surgery.…
