        Introduction: Our institution implemented a surgical site infection
        (SSI) reduction strategy for patients undergoing radical cystectomy
        (RC). The intervention included the use of a barrier wound protector
        (Alexis retractor), sterile closing tray, wound cleansing, and antibiotic-
        impregnated dressings. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
