Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of early versus late stent removal in patients undergoing radical cystectomy and ileal conduit formation for bladder cancer. The study aims to determine if the timing of stent removal can impact postoperative complications and recovery. Adult patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to either early or late stent removal groups. The outcomes will be monitored to assess the effectiveness and safety of each approach.
