Brief Summary:
This trial will evaluate whether the following aspect of surgical technique influence outcome: Lymph node dissection. In some patients, scans taken before surgery show that a lymph node has cancer. Surgeons make sure to remove those affect lymph nodes and all other lymph nodes in the area. However, it is not known whether removing lymph nodes helps prostate cancer patients whose scans do not show positive nodes. In this study, patients with clear scans will either receive a lymph node dissection or not."

Arms and Interventions

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Lymphadenectomy vs. no lymphadenectomy
In patients randomized to standard, only the nodal packet under the external iliac vein and above the obturator nerve will be dissected. For patients randomized to the modified template, the external iliac, hypogastric and obturator fossa nodal groups will be removed.No lymph nodes will be removed in patients randomized to the no PLND arm.
 Procedure: Lymph node template
Inclusion of the external iliac, hypogastric and obturator fossa nodal groups in the template undergoing a Radical Prostatectomy. Modifying the template for lymph node dissection may lead to removal of additional affected nodes, reducing the chance of recurrence. .No lymph nodes will be removed in patients randomized to the no PLND arm.
Experimental: Transverse versus vertical closure of the port site incision (Closed as of 9/30/2021) Procedure: Transverse versus vertical closure
Transverse versus vertical closure of the port site incision
Experimental: One vs. three days of antibiotic prophylaxis (Closed as of 9/30/2021) Drug: antibiotic prophylaxis
One vs. three days of antibiotic prophylaxis at catheter removal


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patient-reported hernia [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Patient-reported hernia is a routine assessment on post-operative questionnaires completed by prostate cancer patients at MSKCC. The questionnaire asks about hernia near the surgical scar and if there has been a need for surgical repair of the hernia.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate whether a modification to the template for lymph node dissection reduces biochemical recurrence rates [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Biochemical recurrence is defined as any postoperative PSA of 0.2 ng / mL or higher, or treatment with hormones, radiotherapy or chemotherapy starting six months or more after radical prostatectomy.

  2. urinary tract infection (UTI) [ Time Frame: within 10 days ]
    urinary tract infection (UTI) within 10 days of catheter removal. We will use the CDC's definition of UTI: symptomatic UTI diagnosed in patients with positive urine cultures (≥100,000 microorganisms per cm3) and at least one of the following signs or symptoms with no other recognized cause: fever (>38oC), urgency, frequency, dysuria or suprapubic tenderness.50 UTI is routinely captured by clinical staff as a surgical complication.
