Fungal infection prevention after bladder removal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a medicine called Fluconazole can prevent fungal infections after bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) where a piece of the small intestine is used to create a new way for urine to leave the body (ileal conduit).

This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
This observational study follows people after surgery to remove the bladder to learn how often infections happen and what they look like. It may help doctors better prevent and manage complications after this operation.
