Study to Evaluate a New Method to Detect Residual Tumours During Surgery for Prostate Cancer Using Confocal Microscopy

Frozen section analysis of the posterolateral surface of the prostate to guide nerve sparing decisions.

The LaserSAFE procedure is performed using an FCM called the Histolog® scanner developed by Samantree® which can be placed within the operating room. The Histolog® scanner produces digital images with high, micrometre-range resolution and enables the visualization of tissue microstructures down to the cellular level.
