Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

NIR Nerve-specific Fluorescent Imaging for Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy
PROJECT NARRATIVE Nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy is a common treatment option for prostate cancer, however preservation of the nerve tissue continues to challenge surgeons and leaves up to 60% of patients with some form of incontinence and impotence post surgery. Nerve visualization in the operating room is difficult and no clinically approved imaging methodology has been developed to aid in nerve identification and visualization in the operating room. In the work proposed herein, we will develop a clinically relevant near infrared nerve-specific imaging strategy to be utilized with the FDA approved fluorescence-imaging channel in the da Vinci surgical robot enabling nerve-specific imaging during robotic assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
