The Krongrad Institute for Minimally Invasive Prostate Surgery is launching a first-of-kind IRBapproved prospective, longitudinal, non-randomized, single-arm Phase II study of patients with a diagnosis of chronic prostatitis before and after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, a form of minimally invasive surgery.
