PSMA-PET/MRI-Ultrasound Multimodal Fusion Navigation for Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Radical prostatectomy faces the core dilemma of balancing functional preservation with tumor eradication. While nerve-sparing techniques improve urinary control, intraoperative tumor localization remains imprecise, resulting in positive surgical margin (PSM) rates of 11%-38% and elevated recurrence risk. Traditional preoperative 2D imaging fails to dynamically guide surgical boundaries. Although multimodal fusion studies (e.g., MRI or PSMA-PET/CT) attempt to address this, they struggle to achieve simultaneous precision in lesion identification and real-time spatial tracking. This study pioneers a PSMA-PET/MRI-ultrasound multimodal fusion navigation system for the Da Vinci surgical robot, leveraging three innovations: PSMA-PET/MRI dual-modality synergy for subclinical lesion detection at millimeter resolution; Non-rigid point-cloud registration algorithms to dynamically compensate for intraoperative prostate deformation, enabling 3D ultrasound-PET/MRI elastic fusion; Utilizing the telipro port of the Da Vinci surgical robot to achieve intraoperative picture-in-picture navigation, real-time localization of the tumor boundary, and precise resection as well as precise protection.This study aims to verify the safety and effectiveness of the world's first PSMA-PET/MRI-ultrasound multimodal fusion navigation system adapted for the Da Vinci surgical robot. This system is expected to reduce the positive margin rate to less than 10%, increase the rate of nerve preservation by 30%, shorten the postoperative urinary control recovery time to within 2 weeks, and establish a standard process for robotic surgery navigation. This will provide a new paradigm for precise surgical treatment of prostate cancer.
