Bladder cancer surgery: do stents help or hurt?
NCT ID NCT07655284
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using ureteral stents (small tubes) after bladder cancer surgery leads to more or fewer problems than not using them. About 190 adults having their bladder removed will be randomly assigned to get stents or not. The main goal is to see who ends up back in the hospital within 30 days.

Active substance
ureteral stents (device)
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could show that skipping stents reduces complications and hospital readmissions after bladder cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results may vary by patient and surgical technique. Stents have been standard for years, so not using them could increase leakage or stricture risks.
