Urinary tract infections following radical cystectomy with enhanced recovery protocol: A prospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: UTI is common following RC and urinary diversion with ERAS protocol. The most common isolated pathogens are candida and Escherichia coli. Orthotopic neobladder and perioperative transfusion are independent risk factors for postoperative UTI. The use of suppressive fluoroquinolones is associated with a significant decrease in UTI rate.
