Abstract

Introduction

• Radical cystectomy (RC) has high complication rates:

•Infections – 25%

• Wound issues – 15%

• Anastomotic leaks – < 1% ¹,⁵

• Leukocytosis is common postoperatively but not predictive of complication type or severity².

• Colorectal literature shows that C-reactive protein (CRP) independently predicts gastrointestinal complications⁴⁻⁶.

• Hypothesis: Elevated CRP on postoperative day (POD) 4 predicts overall and high-grade complications, independent of leukocytosis.
