First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at whether it is safe to skip preventive antibiotics after bladder cancer surgery that creates a new way for urine to leave the body. About 120 adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the antibiotic nitrofurantoin or no antibiotic after surgery. The main goal is to compare rates of urinary tract infections in the 90 days after surgery.
