PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the feasibility and limitations of using a mechanically-manipulated transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe for TRUS evaluation during a da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). II. To collect TRUS evaluation data during RALP to guide us in deciding whether and how the mechanical manipulation of the TRUS probe will allow sufficient clarity of ultrasound imaging. OUTLINE: Patients undergo TRUS during RALP. After the completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 7 days.
