The Interplay of Cumulative Perioperative Morbidity and Health-related Quality of Life After Radical Cystectomy—Prospective Evidence from the COMPACT Registry
We looked at whether complications after bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy) affect patients' quality of life. We found that most patients have complications, but these usually do not reduce quality of life 6 mo after surgery. Instead, pre-existing health conditions had a stronger impact on recovery.
