Official title
STENT X Non-stent Genito-urinary Tract Reconstruction After Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer - a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled and Multi Institutional Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Radical Cystectomy (RC) remains the gold standard for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC); however, use of ureteral stents at time of surgery remains controversial without level 1 evidence to comment on risks or benefits of their use. RC complications commonly include urinary tract infections (UTIs), pyelonephritis, ureteroileal leakage and stenosis, and can occur with either ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder diversions. Traditionally, ureteral stents are thought to support anastomotic healing and reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage and strictures; however, emerging evidence from retrospective studies suggests that stent use may paradoxically increase rates of postoperative morbidity. This randomized, multicenter and prospective study aims to compare 30-day postoperative complication rates between stented and non-stented urinary diversions in patients undergoing RC for MIBC, in both ileal conduit or neobladder with either robotic or open approaches.
