Clinical Trial: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Superiority Trial Comparing Robotic-Assisted Versus Expert Cognitive Fusion Prostate Biopsy in Abdominally Obese Men

U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07600216) titled 'A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Superiority Trial Comparing Robotic-Assisted Versus Expert Cognitive Fusion Prostate Biopsy in Abdominally Obese Men' on May 14.

Brief Summary: The trial aims to find out if using a robotic system to help perform prostate biopsies is better than having a highly experienced doctor perform the biopsy by hand in men with a high Body Mass Index (BMI).

While MRI-guided prostate biopsies are highly effective, carrying them out in men with obesity can be physically challenging for doctors. Extra pelvic tissue increases the depth the biopsy needle must travel and makes it difficult to manually hold the u...
