Perioperative Outcomes following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Radical Cystectomy-Is There Room for Improvement?

While the administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly increase perioperative complications, patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had an increased rate of 30-day readmission, with infection being the most common etiology. This increased readmission rate has not been previously identified in this patient population to our knowledge and is an important focus for quality improvement.
