Indwelling urinary catheters are a primary site for nosocomial infections. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-adhesive properties of Cranberry type A pro anthocyanidine gel capsules in the prevention Escherichia coli infections on indwelling urinary catheters placed in patients following pelvic surgery. The investigators primary working hypothesis is that cranberry treatment decreases E. coli colonization on indwelling urinary catheters, thus preventing nosocomial urinary infections following pelvic surgery.

Dietary Supplement: cranberry type A pro anthocyandines
The patients randomized to this arm will recieve one placebo gel capsule per day starting on the day of the pelvic surgery (j0) until the 10th day post-op (j10). The gel capsule is taken orally in the morning with a large glass of water. The placebo contains lactose and is conditioned in a manner to be identical in caliber and color with the experimental treatment gel capsules.
