Prospective health‐related quality of life in women undergoing radical cystectomy and urinary diversion

Women exhibit a similar, positive recovery trajectory in HRQoL after RC. However, both pre- and postoperatively, there are meaningfully lower psychosocial domain scores. Lower baseline Sexual Functioning scores and the differences observed in continent and ileal conduit diversion suggests tailored attention to this area in women. These findings have clinical implications for additional attention to psychosocial and emotional health during recovery after RC.
