Official Title: A Pilot Clinical Trial for the Prevention of Postoperative Lymphoceles Using Absorbable Micorporous Polysaccharide Hemosphere Particles During Robotic Assisted Prostatecto

Brief Summary: This study is being performed to investigate if the application of Arista absorbable hemostat (AH)®, a product approved to stop surgical bleeding, can prevent lymphoceles. Lymphoceles are collections of lymphatic fluid which can occur after a lymph node dissection for cancer. These fluid collections can become symptomatic in some patients. Arista would be applied to one side of the pelvis after a pelvic lymph node dissection, to see if this decreases the number of postoperative lymph fluid collections seen on a computed tomography (CT) scan after surgery
