A Study Evaluating Intraoperative Application of Platelet-Rich Plasma to the Neurovascular Bundles During Nerve-Sparing Radical Prostatectomy: Initial Technical Description and Prospective Early Postoperative Outcomes Analysis

Can platelet rich plasma applied to nerve bundles at time of surgery help the nerve bundles
heal? Subjects undergoing a Radical Prostatectomy who meet study inclusion/exclusion criteria
will be consented to receive an intraoperative application of platelet-rich plasma, made from
their own blood at the time of surgery, for application onto their neurovascular bundles in
an effort to improve the healing process. Subjects will be followed for an additional 18
months to determine the efficacy and safety of this procedure.
