Brief Summary

This is a single arm, interventional pilot study of using chlorhexidine irrigation intra-operatively and post-operatively among patients undergoing radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. The intervention comprises of using irrigation of ileal conduit or ileal neobladder intra-operatively and then for irrigation of either post-surgery with Irrisept ®. The sterilization of urine will be assessed at 10 days after cystectomy. Incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infections within the 30-day post-operative period will be estimated.
