About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Changes After Robot-Assisted and Open Radical Prostatectomy

This prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to compare perioperative respiratory changes in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) and open radical prostatectomy (ORP). The primary outcome is the change in peak expiratory flow (PEF) from the preoperative period to the early postoperative (2nd hour) period. Secondary outcomes include PEF recovery at 24 hours, and correlations between PEF change and intraoperative factors such as Trendelenburg angle, pneumoperitoneum duration, and ventilatory parameters.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surgical procedure: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomyDiagnostic test

    RALRP will be performed with pneumoperitoneum (12-15 mmHg CO₂ insufflation) and 25-30° Trendelenburg position. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) will be measured preoperatively, 2 hours postoperatively, and 24 hours postoperatively using the same handheld peak flow meter.

Study groups in NCT07262073
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Open Radical Prostatectomy (Control Group)Active comparatorPatients undergoing open radical prostatectomy under standardized general anesthesia. No pneumoperitoneum or steep Trendelenburg position is applied.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Surgical procedure: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (Study Group)ExperimentalPatients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) under standardized general anesthesia, with carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Surgical procedure: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in PEF (L/min)

    Difference between preoperative and early postoperative PEF values.

    Measured: From preoperative baseline to postoperative 2nd hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in PEF from preoperative to postoperative 24th hour

    Evaluates recovery of PEF compared to baseline.

    Measured: From preoperative measurement (baseline) to postoperative 24th hour

  2. Intraoperative parameters correlated with PEF reduction

    Correlation between PEF change and intraoperative variables including Trendelenburg angle/duration, pneumoperitoneum pressure/duration, ventilatory pressures, and intraoperative fluid balance.

    Measured: From induction of anesthesia to end of surgery

  3. Incidence of respiratory complications

    Frequency of postoperative respiratory events such as desaturation, need for reintubation, or presence of chemosis.

    Measured: Within the first 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgical procedure: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in people with Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and Peak Expiratory Flow, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in PEF (L/min) (time frame: From preoperative baseline to postoperative 2nd hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2025.
