Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
Part of Cancer, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if adding a special CT scan before bladder removal helps find muscle-invasive bladder cancer earlier. It includes people with different stages of bladder cancer who are planning to have their bladder removed.
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
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.
This trial compares two ways surgeons rebuild a new bladder using either sigmoid colon tissue or ileum (small intestine) tissue. It aims to see which option is safer and works better for people having bladder cancer surgery.
