Real Time Microscopic Imaging During Robot Assisted Prostate Cancer Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

The study involves use of a device called an endomicroscope to obtain high resolution images of microscopic structures during robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery. This feasibility study is largely descriptive, and will use endomicroscopy to document the cellular and architectural appearance of tissue during minimally invasive prostate surgery for later comparison with features seen upon conventional histopathological examination of biopsies or resection specimens.
