What to do about urinary tract infection after bladder cancer surgery

After transurethral resection of bladder tumor, treatment of urinary tract infection includes encouraging patients to drink more water, alkalinizing urine, using antibiotics and prolonging the interval of perfusion. Urinary tract infection after total cystectomy urinary diversion is treated differently depending on the way of urinary diversion. Urinary tract infections in the in situ neobladder are usually treated with antibiotics after adequate drainage by placing a catheter, and upper urinary tract infections can be treated with percutaneous nephrostomy to drain urine along with anti-inflammatory therapy. Ileal bladder presenting with urinary tract infection is often treated with percutaneous nephrostomy for drainage of urine along with anti-inflammatory therapy.
