This trial investigates brain and pelvic floor muscle activity in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This trial may help identify the brain waves that are associated with muscles involved in giving patients control over the bladder.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: * Identify pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity on electromyogram (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG). * Identify any synchrony in EMG and EEG for PFM activity. * Identify any relationship between EEG activity and UDS findings. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Identify changes in EEG and EMG activity with Kegel exercise. II. Examine relationship between EEG activity and continence. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. Examine feasibility of replacing EMG with EEG monitoring for muscle activity. OUTLINE: Patients perform standard of care Kegel exercises while undergoing brain and muscl…
