Past studies have demonstrated a reduction in urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urosepsis following radical cystectomy (RC) through the use of prophylactic antibiotics. However, no optimal antibiotic duration has been described. This study sought to assess the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis duration and stent removal timing on rates of post-RC complications and Clostridium difficile infections (CDI).
