Scientific titleClinical impact of early enteral versus parenteral nutrition following cystectomy evaluated in a prospective randomised trial
Study objectivesCurrent 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) studiedBladder cancer / invasive disease / Urology
InterventionAfter 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 typeOther
Primary outcome measureOccurrence of postoperative complications according to the Dindo-Clavien classification with particular respect for infections. Measured within the first 30 days after surgery
Secondary outcome measures1. Recovery of bowel function (flatulence, passage of stool, nausea, vomiting)
2. Length of postoperative hospital stay
3. Nutritional biochemical variables
3.1. Serum albumin
3.2. Prealbumin
3.3. Total protein
Measured by questionnaire and blood samples on postoperative day 1, 3, 7, 10, 14 and 30 days after surgery.
