Study recovery after bladder removal surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at how patients recover after radical cystectomy, a surgery that removes the bladder for bladder cancer. It will study recovery patterns to help understand what recovery may look like and possibly improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
