All patients \> 18 years referred to radical cystectomy will be eligible for this study. The efficacy is primary expressed by the difference in length of stay(LOS). Secondly by complications, health related quality of life(HRQoL) and patient reported quality of care during hospitalization. The intervention includes precise instructions and educations in intensive pre- and postoperatively exercises and stoma-care, supported by the multiprofessional team.
