Exercise in primary care after robot-assisted radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer – effects on postoperative complications: a secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Ninety patients were randomised, with a mean (SD) age of 72 (9) years. Readmission rates between 30 and 90 days showed no difference between the groups. For readmitted patients, the intervention group had significantly fewer complications reported as Clavien Dindo grade 2 compared to the control group. Conclusion: An exercise programme in primary care soon after robot-assisted radical cystectomy appears to be safe for patients, as measured by hospital readmission rates. Trial registration: Clinical Trials (NCT03998579).
