NCT03982498

Brief Summary

There is a recognised complication of surgery known as a 'Paralytic Ileus', where bowel function is reduced after an operation, causing an obstruction and resulting in nausea and vomiting. This complication is more common in patients that have robotic surgery due to the positioning required and the gas pressures required for keyhole/robotic surgery. While some of the factors involved in a paralytic ileus are known, the full mechanism and the chemicals involved are not yet fully understood. This study is looking at the level of specific chemicals called 'cytokines', and the changes in the level of these cytokines in the blood before and after robotic surgery, specifically during bladder removal (cystectomy). Cytokine levels will be compared against post-operative recovery and whether a paralytic ileus is developed.
