The Impact of Early Feeding After Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer

NCT01489800 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 102

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Complications after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer range from 30-40%, many of which are related to bowel function. Patients usually wait to eat until return of bowel function, although there is evidence that after primary intestinal or colonic surgery, patients may take food ad lib immediately, and that this is is associated with lower complication rate and shorter length of stay. The investigators hypothesize that early access to oral enteral nutrition (food at will) after cystectomy and urinary diversion will reduce the complication rate both in-hospital and within 90 days after hospital discharge.
