Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
