This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether wearing heated socks during bladder cancer surgery can prevent hypothermia—a dangerous drop in body temperature that commonly happens during long operations. Researchers will compare three groups: patients who wear heated socks, patients who wear regular socks, and patients who wear no socks. The goal is to see if this simple, comfortable intervention can keep you warmer and protect your vital signs during and after your surgery.
During bladder cancer surgery, patients lose body heat in many ways—from cold operating room air, exposure during the procedure, cold fluids and materials, and the effects of anesthesia. This heat loss can cause serious complications. Researchers want to test whether heated socks, a safe and simple approach, can effectively prevent this dangerous temperature drop.

You will be enrolled the day before your scheduled bladder cancer surgery. On that day, you'll complete a short form about your background and health. Then, depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, you'll either wear heated socks, regular socks, or no socks during your surgery. Researchers will measure your body temperature and vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) before, during, and after the operation to see how well the heated socks worked.
