Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies mechanically-manipulated ultrasound in finding tumors during robotic-assisted surgery in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, may help find prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread during surgery
