Intraoperatively , a fluid and opioid sparing protocol may reduce fluid shifts and avoid complications from paralytic ileus .
Finally , enhanced recovery protocol s including novel medications , early feeding , and multi-modal analgesia approaches are associated with earlier postoperative convalescence .
CONCLUSION RC is a complex and morbid procedure that may benefit from care re design .
OBJECTIVE To present an evidence -based review of the perioperative management of the radical cystectomy ( RC ) patient in the context of a care re design initiative .
