Overview

Study quantifies UTI rates post-cystectomy, identifies risk factors, highlighting the need for improved prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to quantify UTI rates after benign cystectomy and identify associated patient factors.
  • Reviewed patients who underwent benign cystectomy from 2012-2025, excluding malignancy cases.
  • Recorded cystectomy type and urinary diversion.
  • Categorized UTIs by timing—immediate postoperative or within 90 days after discharge.
  • Compared demographics and perioperative characteristics between patients with and without UTIs.
  • 14.8% developed an immediate postoperative UTI.
  • 19.1% developed a UTI within 90 days after surgery.
  • 32.8% received antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) postoperatively, which did not reduce immediate UTI rates.
  • Patients with UTIs within 90 days had longer operative times and higher readmission rates.
