Health-related quality of life after radical cystectomy

Hoon Choi et al. Transl Androl Urol. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

Herein, we review the assessment of quality-of-life (QoL) in radical cystectomy (RC) patients, summarize the result of studies for different surgical approaches, and provide an overview of patient management, as well as other considerations. In this review article, we reviewed the QoL research and research tools for patients undergoing RC, including urinary diversion methods, gender differences, and surgical methods (open surgery vs. robotic surgery). This narrative review focused primarily on articles indexed in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. We did not used formal search strategy and meta-analysis was not performed.

Keywords: Urothelial cell carcinoma; health; quality of life; radical cystectomy (RC).
