| Scientific title | Clinical impact of early enteral versus parenteral nutrition following cystectomy evaluated in a prospective randomised trial |
| Study objectives | Current opinion favours the use of postoperative early enteral over parenteral nutrition, although the benefits in cystectomy patients have never been clearly shown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of early enteral versus total parenteral nutrition following cystectomy. |
| Ethics approval(s) | The Ethics Committee of the Canton of Bern (Ethikkommission des Kantons Bern) approved originally in November 2007. The trial was not started and approval was re-sought and granted in May 2010 (ref: 1394) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Bladder cancer / invasive disease / Urology |
| Intervention | After cystectomy and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy patients are randomized into one of the following groups: 1. Group A: parenteral nutrition is given for 7 days; oral intake with a gastrostomy tube in place is started on day 4 after surgery 2. Group B: oral food is given the first day after surgery. No parenteral nutrition. Saline solution for volume substitution |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Occurrence of postoperative complications according to the Dindo-Clavien classification with particular respect for infections. Measured within the first 30 days after surgery |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Recovery of bowel function (flatulence, passage of stool, nausea, vomiting) |
