Post‐operative recovery of quality‐of‐life following percutaneous nephrolithotomy: The impact on pain intensity and interference and the ability to participate in social roles
Pain intensity and interference sharply increase immediately post-operatively, reducing quality of life, although the ability to participate in social roles is not impacted. The absolute magnitude of this change is significant, with a final improvement at 30 days at or above baseline. Results offer meaningful insight to assist in setting expectations for patients post-operatively.
