We acknowledge the potential for selection bias and limits of generalizability in this retrospective study and are actively accruing to our randomized clinical trial of modifications to radical cystectomy (NCT06703476), which will provide much needed prospective data to better define the benefits and risks of ureteral stent use for patients undergoing radical cystectomy.Until then, we hope that this study encourages readers to carefully consider surgical dogma in their practice that might warrant closer, evidence-based inspection.
