Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a goal directed nutritional intervention can reduce the convalescence period for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). The aim is to examine the effect on quality of life of a standard nutritional strategy of resting the bowel till clear signs of bowel recovery and feeding orally after bowel recovery versus a goal-directed nutritional intervention combining oral intake and parenteral nutrition, in patients undergoing RC.
